I'd suggest packing glucose tablets in your glove box for lows, highs are easy if you have a pump and you can always pull off to the roadside even if you're on injections. I haven't really noticed that hypoglycemia has a negative effect on my driving, as most people say it does. High blood sugar, however, makes me feel quite fatigued and could result in falling asleep while driving if I don't deal with it.

You can find my kind living right on the fault line, eyes on the seaside, lives on the B-side, kites on the power lines.
