[QUOTE="Jaylee, post: 2373562, member: 101136"] Hi, Welcome to the forum. Carry fast acting carbs with you always, especially as you are starting a new insulin regime. Ideally 6Mmol as a "buffer zone" testing before getting behind the wheel. They do say "5 to drive, 4 is the floor." (I've no ideas what levels you are trending with your basal at the moment. if you haven't been used to lower levels. You may feel out of sorts in the optimal range?) I personally am happy in the mid 5s. but then my journeys are shorter. I don't do breakfast either. In my experience certain journeys & driving conditions push my BGs up due to liver dump? What time to you inject your Toujeo? & are you also prescribed a short acting insulin to cover meals too.? Plan ahead with your morning routine prior to setting off for work. Just until you get comfortable with how the new meds are trending. Best wishes. [/QUOTE]
