[QUOTE="Tabbyjoolz, post: 1737450, member: 326717"] [USER=471031]@stephenlopez[/USER] - driving with diabetes only becomes a real danger if you are taking insulin or glicazide, which may give you a hypo (very low blood sugar that can lead to a coma). Otherwise in the case of Metformin, as others have said, will not give you a hypo but may result in a messy "accident" of a different kind! Assuming you're not on any meds and as you're not driving until next week, best start eating low-carb as soon as you can beforehand so that you'll be well adjusted to low-carb by the time you're behind the wheel. Some people, within a couple of days of switching to low carb, start feeling fluey as their bodies adapt, but this does not last long. All being well, by next week you'll be feeling much sharper and more able to tackle a long journey. If you feel you need to take snacks for the road, some cubes of cheese or ham, or some salted nuts and water and/or coffee will keep you sharp. [/QUOTE]
