[QUOTE="HSSS, post: 2072077, member: 480869"] Well a non diabetic is very unlikely to go further hypo and unconscious or dazed and confused and infact being in the 3’s isn’t unusual for metabolically healthy people as their liver glucose and insulin work effectively in tandem unlike ours. That said I’m sure lots of people do in fact drive in a state they shouldn’t (eg just plain old tired or whilst sick) but being under 4 for a diabetic on strong glucose lowering meds is a known, quantifiable and recognised risk whereas other risks are less measurable. I guess the nearest comparison would be alcohol as that is also be measurable and that risk is legislated against. [/QUOTE]
