I have no experience with the LTSA and relicensing, I don’t think my diabetes has ever come up, but in the past two-years I have been under the hammer with the medical folks and being fit to drive because of low BG. I believe there is a toughing on this up in progress The law that I simply can’t comply with, is you are not allowed to have anymore the “ONE” low (3.2mm/l), over a thirty or a thirty-one day period. From where I see this, I don’t believe there is anyone using modern fast acting insulin, or perhaps any insulin, that would achieve this and still claim to be in control. Right?
I understand that four to five hours is the minimum non driving period after a low BG reading?
