[QUOTE="jopar, post: 231205, member: 11712"] At what point did you test your BG, was this after you'll driven and parked up to go shopping and how come you didn't take a BG before driving home? Problem you have is that 9.2mmol/l is pretty high, and for this to drop into hypo land within an hour isn't good at all.. And I assume that you weren't aware that you were going hypo until after the accident... I'm glad your GP decided that to pass it on to the consultant to determin what's what.. What you consultant will be looking at is several things and this will help to determine whether he/she feels that this was an out of the blue occurance or whether you are suffering from hypo unawareness or have a degree of this which effets your driving licence... So when you go and see your consultant make sure that you have a print out and your Blood Glucose meter with you, so they can see how you manage your diabetes over all, and they will be able to see what sort of hypo awareness you probably have. The rules have changed slightly were our licences are concerned, but if you haven't had to have medical intervention in the last 12 months, then if your licence is revolked you should vbe able to reapply for it back after a year.. Even though yes you've got a lot pending on your driving licence, do remember this accident you and your daughter were unharmed this time next time you or somebody else may not be so lucky.. @battyboo123 If you are driving then testing 4 times a day isn't enough even for the non-driver a driver should test their BG every time before you get behind a wheel of a car or on your motorbike/scooter...
