What should you do if you have a hypo while driving?

Dr Sarah Jarvis

If you have type 1 diabetes, you'll often be encouraged to control your blood sugar to almost the same levels as someone who doesn't have diabetes, especially if you're young and don't have complications of diabetes or other medical conditions. This is because high blood glucose in the long term is linked to damage to your kidneys, eyes, nerves, feet and heart. However, keeping tight control of your blood glucose does increase the risk of hypos.
