[QUOTE="searley, post: 2469452, member: 31377"] It may be worse than what you think... you are infact incorrect about keeping your bg above 5... what's actually stated is you should not start a journey if below 5 but you can go as low as 4 and be legal. Below that you are classed as hypo... However where you may fall foul of the law... is you can NOT have a hypo where help of others is needed.. the fact you passed out puts you in a difficult position.. because it also means you are not hypo aware.... which to drive goods vehicles you must have hypo awareness you can not rely on cgm for this So I highly recommend you seek advice on this sooner rather than later and I don't think your gp is good enough for this as I highly suspect you'll be driving illegally [/QUOTE]
