I know we've been advised a minimum level for BG before driving, but what about a maximum?

I can wake up in the morning with high-ish BG's but feel fine and drive to work as normal. I've never had any mishap, scares, accidents etc but just realised I'd never been advised if there was a "too high"

Dont know if there is a high.....legally.....everyone is different and although i feel rough when i hit 15, i can still function normally......my control used to be quite bad but never has problems with ketoacidosis or any side effect from that....

Thats not to say you wont, if you feel unable to function at a certain level, get some insulin in you...........

Be sure if there was any danger to driving with highs the DVLA would have it mentioned......
