I know the basic rules:
- Check at least every 2 hours.
- Eat something when between 4 and 5.
- Wait 45 (?) minutes before resuming your trip after a hypo has been treated and you've risen to at least 5.
Is this still fingerprick only or do they accept Libre readings?
And more importantly, if Libre says hypo but fingerprick says no hypo, does the fingerprick count? My Libres tend to read lower than blood and I'd hate to have to treat a non-existent hypo just to drive, I'm fat enough as it is.
Also, tips on how to survive driving on the wrong side of the road are very welcome...
As are random other tips on my trip.
Looks like I can finally make that trip to the UK which was planned for the spring of 2020!
So if you see a dirty little green Citroën C3 with yellow plates in september, give me room, I have no idea what I'm doing on the left side of the road!
