Because hypoglycemia can make driving performance (blood sugar even modestly low as possible to do so) if you are at all subject to hypoglycemia, I would strongly advise personally monitor the level of blood sugar every time you spend on it.
Before inserting the ignition key, check the levels of blood sugar. There are some important blood glucose meters are not lacking, as with the Accu-Chek Compact Accu-Check Multi-CLIX pin Lancet.
The Accu-Chek Compact strip drum with a 17Inside therefore should not be taken for each strip. The Accu-Check Multi-pen Lancet CLIX a drum, which automatically maintains six hands into the pen to use quickly and easily. Again, you will need to bring any hands separately. If low blood sugar, treat yourself to some juice or sweet and not drive until your blood sugar level is normal again. In general, 80 mg / dl and above, it should feel better. Then you try to eat a small meal, like a low-fat cheese and / orTurkey sandwich.
Usually within 15 minutes under 15-20 grams of carbohydrate (CHO), opens the blood sugar level is usually normal. You can send a 4-6 ounce glass of juice, 2-3 sugar cubes or candy. Do not overdo it, then the level of blood sugar go skyrocketing why. If it does not come back within normal limits in 15 minutes, repeat for 15-20 grams of CHO and then check your blood sugar in 15 minutes.
Normally, when the blood sugar level greater than 80 mg / dl, you shouldfeel good, but sometimes it goes above 100 mg / dl, you will feel better. You should always follow with a small meal, carbohydrate, protein, containing a small amount of fat.
Always make sure to eat right at hand in the car (and not in the trunk!). I say to my father on the bag 3.2 blocked Peppermint Candy and his right to have a supply of hard candies or Peppermint Candy always hidden in his car.
And 'better eating 6-8 small meals per day. ThisIt would be a carbohydrate, high protein food that contains a bit 'fat and others included. Example would be a cheese sandwich fat contains 1 or 2 slices of bread, cheese, low fat or Turkey is low in fat, but not. The proteins and fats helps the blood sugar level would have a longer period, rather than a rapid rise in blood sugar levels and a rapid decrease in blood sugar like juices to stabilize.
During the trip, if you need to take an injection of insulin or oral medication, blood glucose,Make sure you eat, such as drugs with limited, or blood sugar to go down. I am on prescription drugs as insulin and oral glucose in the blood sugar level can go low writing. Not all insulin, esp. Lantus and oral diabetes medications make the blood sugar levels.
Signs of hypoglycemia:
** A cold sweat, weakness, dizziness
** Headache
** Pulsed heart, tremor, nervousness
** Blurred vision
Fame **
Irritability **
** PeopleChange
** Not able to awaken
Now the problems when you drive, if the level of blood sugar over 200 mg / dl. My father died in an accident because his blood sugar was over 200, was confused and in the same time had a urinary tract infection. The policeman told me that a diabetic, the license may be revoked if an accident caused by diabetes. Not know if this is true, but because they would lose the license, if not all, this is the case.
If you intend to driveany kind of time, sometimes finding a place to pull over and retest your blood. When it comes to travel: When in doubt, check the blood sugar and eat!
