[QUOTE="Deadeye_Pete, post: 2066504, member: 435992"] Ok, so I've just come back from my gp appointment where i said that i had a hypo while driving without being aware i was hypo. The doc said not to drive until fitness to drive has been assessed by the diabetes team and has referred me for an urgent consultation. Now I've got home and checked the history of my blood sugar, it was 4.7 mmol/l at the time in question. I was on a long journey and had stopped at a motorway services for a routine blood check. (1hour and 53minutes since the last test). We decided that it was a good time for lunch. My sugar did drop to 3.3 half an hour later by which time I'd already had glucose tablets and a pasty. Have i shot myself in the foot with this, since the doc has said i must tell DVLA about reduced hypo awareness - we also discussed my sudden onset of hypo symptoms without warning when my BG drops to the 3's. Help, please., Pete [/QUOTE]
