I have just seen a comment on the Facebook post from Diabetes Uk about drving licenses. Someone said if you have an accident, the first thing the police will do is check your meteŕ and test your blood. Is this right?
So that means I should be carrying a meter in my car/handbag even if I am doing a short journey then?
I am newly diagnosed type 2 or 1.5 on Levemir injected night and morning. My sugars are still high. Say I am doing a 10 minute journey to the shop, taking 30 mins and my sugar is 13 before I set off. Do I have to take the meter and retest within that short period of time before the return journey even though a hypo is almost impossible?
