Document Summary
If blood glucose <4. 0mmol/l then consume 15 grams of simple fast acting carbs to elevate your sugar this could be 6 lifesavers, 3 tsp of sugar in water or 1bsp of honey. Hypoglycemia & driving: when on insulin, there is a risk of hypoglycemia, confirm glucose levels before operating machine. If glucose <4 mmol/l, do not drive. treat with 15g of fast sugar, retest after 15 minutes. Wait 1 hour before driving or operating a vehicle. Diabetes & exercise: exercise can impact bg levels. Thus, important to monitor bg levels before, during or after exercise: avoid injecting insulin into exercising limb. So if you workout legs, running, avoid injection into thighs: so, test bg levels before, during or after exercise. If between low/normal 3-7mmol/l, that"s kinda low so eat a 15g carb snack. If gb level >15mmol/l, its considered high, so administer insulin & postpone workout until insulin is controlled.
