Relying on CGM for hypo awareness while driving

[Standup]

The point I'm querying is about the need for finger prick tests to drive generally. The sections you quoted are for very specific circumstances when a finger prick test is needed. I'm well aware of my obligations as a driver.

You need to carry your blood glucose meter at all times when driving (and at all times generally really but that’s not a law), and use it in certain circumstances

According to the DVLA leaflet I got from the hospital after my surgery the finger prick kit is only needed for Group 2 licences/driving.

so this is still wrong because you said fingerprick kit is only needed for group 2 (larger vehicles). It’s not. You have to carry it at all times for group 1 (cars).

Just look up the rules yourself, it’s straight forward when to test with a fingerprick kit but you have to always carry it when driving.

That's an "and", not an "either/or"
