  Always check my bloodsugar before driving to be safe. Plus, I tend to wait an hour or so after meals before I get in the car to drive. Then, I always carry tabs in an easy to reach location while I am driving. Better safe than sorry.

  If blood sugar is low you do not even start the car! Technology makes that a simple choice!

  I wear DexCom monitoring and Tandem insulin pump. I also carry snacks allowing me to treat impending low.

  No, but almost. Thankfully I was right around the corner from my final destination so I could deal with it as soon as I stopped. It was just trending down and I had a couple mins to spare before it required action.

  I have had to stop. I have glucose tablets in my man-purse (3 tubes) and in each of my 3 vehicles, car, truck, and motorcycle. I am not a fan of pulling over and can take glucose tablets most times without stopping. When riding the MC I ALWAYS STOP.

  I didn't pull over, but I definitely downed a couple of orange sugar pills at the next light!

  If I am low while driving and feel ok (most instances) I will just treat it. If I'm high, I ake a bolus from my phone and with my phone in the CD holder it can recognize my face.

  Yes. I was seven and my mother died on Aug 1. The church was bringing us (dad and three siblings) dinners and desserts every night. Halloween rolled around and I was “acting strange” wetting my pants, walking into trees. The doctor diagnosed me with psychosis stemming from grief and put me on a couple of antidepressants. I had developed a cough so I was given cough syrup (pure sugar). I slipped into a coma and no one knew what was wrong with me. It took two days until, finally, a young doctor on the emergency staff figured out to test my bg.

  My GP knew instantly. Besides all the classic symptoms, extreme thirst, constant urination, and unexplained weight loss, a quick test gave him all he needed, there was no question in his mind. And even though I was 32 at the time, he got me started on insulin almost immediately. He first had me get a glucose tolerance test at the hospital lab, but they told me they wouldn't do one once they saw my fasting blood glucose; they said the test would make me sick and my doc didn't need any more information for the diagnosis.

  The doctor I took my son to was originally mystified by the symptoms I told him that my son was having because they weren't classic symptoms. My son had a bad stomach ache and headache for days. Only the night before taking him to the doctor did he surprise me by asking for a glass of water at bedtime because his mouth was dry. He was in DKA. The doctor suggested doing blood work just at the end of the appt. or to wait another day to see if he improved. I'm so thankful I said to do that because by Sunday when we finally found out the results his blood sugar was over 700.

  No, but I have certainly delayed driving to avoid it when I know a low is coming, that is not uncommon.
