[QUOTE="Juicyj, post: 2131265, member: 53162"] Hello and welcome to the forum [USER=514375]@Baid[/USER] Nice to have you on board and with so many t1 years under your belt too :) As others have said it's good to keep something like glucotabs or jelly babies in your car so they are close to hand to treat as soon as you feel any hypo coming, keeping good hypo awareness is key for all us type 1's, so it's good you can feel these coming on. In regards to a sign, to be honest i've not come across one, as we are all told now by DVLA to take the keys out of the ignition, then move across to the passenger seat out of the driver's seat and treat your hypo with fast acting carbs until above 5, then leave it 45 minutes before setting off, the idea is you stay in the vehicle to treat and move on when safe to do so: [URL]https://www.diabetes.org.uk/guide-to-diabetes/life-with-diabetes/driving#test[/URL] Hope this helps :) [/QUOTE]
