[QUOTE="vic hill, post: 1639021, member: 75260"] hmm well you all have your points which is good . according to information you should do a blood sugar test within 2 hours of driving put it this way , just before a recent drive . i changed cartridge , and needle on a pump done test before a drive at 10.30 am had a biscuit digetsive common carbs 10 grams 1 unit of insulin as blood sugar was 7.5 40 mins down the road got on the a14 to Huntingdon just past the Cambridge junction from the on . all lanes were full of traffic at 5 mph the after a mile up to10 mph the up to 30/40 ten miles to the Huntington 3 lanes all full after about 20min turn of into a14 west stopped check blood sugar 17 this high but when you have had 60 years of injection s this is a problem i have insulin needle changes cause it to absorb slowly or at normal rate no go areas are arms legs and now the stomach . how i would have liked to had the Freestyle attached could have saved me a tiny bit of stress. so after adjusting for high blood sugars 4 units plus and up to 150 increase on pump and drive a further 30 miles all ok as the blood sugars were back to normal ,now what is normal is another story for another day thank for reply s keep well FOLKS regards vic [/QUOTE]
