[QUOTE="David_A_Hughes, post: 1133490, member: 249826"] If you're on Gliclazide you are obliged to test before you drive a vehicle and, if it's a long trip, every two hours into the journey. This is, of course, for insurance purposes. Gliclazide [I]can [/I]cause hypos, if this happens whilst you're driving and you cause an accident (whether you had a hypo or not), you may well find that your insurance is null and void - and someone [I]will [/I]find out! I pointed this out to both my GP and diabetic nurse, they weren't aware of this and both checked this out with a higher authority and had to agree that I am right. I now have as many testing strips as I need. I don't go mad using them, often first thing in the morning and only occasionally during the day, but [I]every [/I]time I go out in my car! [/QUOTE]
