[QUOTE="DCUKMod, post: 1625857, member: 345386"] I am officially diabetes resolved, and no longer on the diabetes register, but that doesn't affect the price of fish. My take on all of this is that for the majority of T2s not taking insulin or the more aggressive glucose lowering medications, we are not supported to test, never mind pre-driving testing. How would any such member have a clue where they are, never mind a relative measure of below or above 5? My personal had always been I have never specifically tested before driving. OK, I surely have tested in the lead up to driving for one reason or another, but I don't make it a common practise. I'm just about to drive about 130 miles, and don't feel the need to test. A couple of years ago, I listened to a Consultant Endo talk about the rules for driving and he agree that they words are non-specific for most T2s, but he feels unconcerned that the majority don't test - ever. Of course, he might be considering that many T2s don't go into the 4s too often, but I do, and lower. Regularly. My liver seems to work as it should, and just gives me a helping hand. If a non-medicated or Metformin medicated individual chooses to adopt the very cautious approach, then I applaud them. If anyone feels rough, from whatever cause, including a potential blood sugar number lower than their usual, then they must not drive. Those are my personal views, and posted as a person, not a moderator [/QUOTE]
