Re: [InsulinPumpersSupport] MA license

Hey! Wait for me!! I just got home.
I asked my very first endo about this and he replied with a definitve "NO!"
Matter of fact, I renewed my license this year and don't even
remember seeing the question. <g>
Pre-cgms I tested before driving and pretty frequently if driving
long distances.
But I keep my cgm on the passenger seat and at the press of a button
can see if I'm dropping so can treat without the requisite fingerstick.
PLEASE, EVERYONE............CHECK BEFORE DRIVING........EVERY TIME!
And frequently if you tend to drop quickly.
Deb

80 is bare minimum unless you're driving a very very short distance and bg is stable. I aim for 100 but just keep an eye on my cgm if between that and 80. I've...
