If below 5, have a snack, re test to be over 5. If under 4, treat hypo but then have to wait 45 mins to drive as long as you are over 5 on the 45 min retsest.
Not sure on highs, but think I read somewhere dangerous if over 13, though shouldn't be that high anyway. Something to do as being classed as driving under the influence?

The above does only apply if on insulin or sugar lowering meds, not metformin.
