[QUOTE="Finzi, post: 360211, member: 56231"] I may be wrong, but I think that Gary is *not* a diagnosed diabetic and is not on any treatment (eg gliclazide, insulin). Therefore I'd be fairly sure that the Dvla rules wouldn't apply - they are for diabetics. Generally you would have no reason to know what your blood sugar was if you were not diabetic, and remember that normal glucose levels are between 3.5 and 5.5. Therefore his levels of four are, technically, entirely normal. As to whether it would be wise to drive if he is feeling unwell and hypo-ish (as I gather that he is) that is a different matter. Only he can decide whether he is ok to drive, but I would have thought it would at least be a sensible precaution to have a high sugar snack in the car and not to drive if feeling unwell. Type 2 on Metformin, diagnosed Jan 2013, ultra low carber, Hba1C at diagnosis 8% (64), average BS now between 5 and 6 mmol. [/QUOTE]
