[QUOTE="donnellysdogs, post: 146657, member: 17713"] Just wanted to say, that I was actually aware that I was hypo, I knew that I had driven past my house where I needed to go and I knew I wasn't driving right, and I had pulled up and stopped and had started to eat my sweets in the car. I had done my sugar levels before I went for my walk with my dogs ( I have to drive to the walk, as they and me cannot manage to walk to the walk and walk the walk itself due to all of us having leg problems). The mistake I made, was that that 1 hour later before I drove back the 1/2 mile back home, I did not do another blood test, as I was not ever aware at any other time of the readings dropping so rapidly. So I admit in doing wrong on my return journey, but after 1 hour I had not expected to have dropped so rapidly from my reading that was 5.9, and I had ate a piece of tea bread before I went out without any injection. I have never experience such rapid sugar level drop in my 25 years, my basal units have been pretty much static for quite somewhile and I didn't do anything out of the ordinary at all in the hour I was out. It was a normal day, except I did do the crime of not checking my blood in the car prior to the 1/2 mile drive home. The nurse has given me a blood machine to keep in the car now, and I will never drive without it. I check my levels a minimum of 5 times a day. I see that you are expressing quite some anger towards me and what has happened, I accpet this, but I also hope that this posting may help others realise the danger of even a 1/2 mile journey when your reading was 5.9 an hour before. Your anger is nothing compared to the anger I feel at myself, believe me. I posted this topic for help on what I could expect the outcome to be. I didn't expect to be 'shouted' at, it really isn't very nice when I am really feeling so very bad at myself anyway. I was not looking for sympathy or anger from people, just some help as to what I could expect from the dvla. Please can you bear this in mind before writing angry remarks to me. [/QUOTE]
