[QUOTE="librarising, post: 1625768, member: 41957"] As a diabetic on insulin I've received the DVLA's Guide to driving (DIABINF) As a user of this forum I'm well aware that many seem to INTERPRET the DVLA's Guide to mean that insulin users must not drive below 5 mmol/L. The Guide does not say that. Here's what it says : "If your blood glucose is 5 mmol/L or less TAKE A SNACK. If it is less than 4 mmol/L ... DO NOT DRIVE" If people feel safer not driving until above 5, that's a personal choice. I believe the DVLA allows anyone to drive with a reading between 4 and 5 mmol/L as long as they're pushing their blood sugar in the right direction. This seems to agree with that : [URL]https://www.diabetes.org.uk/guide-to-diabetes/life-with-diabetes/driving[/URL] Geoff [/QUOTE]
