[QUOTE="LooperCat, post: 2049823, member: 468055"] I see - so you're still perfectly legal to drive at those BG levels, so no need to worry about that. Would any of your pupils be desperately offended if you were to do a quick blood test? I'm a teacher, and my students never bat an eyelid - it's sometimes turned into a really good conversation. Why not invest in a Libre sensor or two? You can discreetly scan it with your phone, and see exactly what's going on in-between scans. It could be a good investment for your business, and your health! As for the law, (and I'm pretty up to date on this, as I'm in the process of getting my Group 2 licence) it just says you cannot drive while hypo - which the DVLA specifies as below 4mmol. If you test and are between 4 and 5, you must take some carbohydrate - I use a dextrose tablet or two. If you become hypo while driving you must pull over, take carbohydrate and wait 45 minutes after your blood reaches 5mmol. However, DVLA are now (since Feb 15th this year) accepting Libre readings for cars and motorbikes, so it could be really good for you. [/QUOTE]
