[QUOTE="LittleGreyCat, post: 1625790, member: 6467"] As others have said, the DVLA recommendations do not really apply in your case; in fact they are totally irrelevant unless you are one of the very rare diet only T2s who experience frequent severe hypos. That would be BG levels well below 4. In fact, 4.4 is not usually regarded as a hypo. I presume that you had to fast for an extended period before your procedure (2 days I think) so in that specific case you could have been at risk of a hypo because you had been starving yourself. As [URL]http://www.diabetes.co.uk/diabetes_care/blood-sugar-level-ranges.html[/URL] points out, normal resting level of BG for non-diabetics is 4.0 to 5.9. I think you are worrying without any good reason, and following advice not intended for you. Unless, of course you do suffer uncontrolled dips of BG below 4.0 without notice. However, if it makes you feel happier I doubt it is doing you any physical harm. [/QUOTE]
