Oh No Steve,follow the link on page one that Deus kindly put up and fight for your right to a normal life.
There is no reason why if you test and adjust your insulin to carb/bs you can't live a long and normal life.
You should not be getting behind the wheel of a car if you do not test. If you do it could be fatal to you and anyone in your way.
I was reading about a lady a few weeks back she had no idea she was hypo just went into a trance behind the wheel she killed an inocent driver and has ended up in a wheel chair herself. She was in court to answer charges for driving while under the influence of drugs and causing the death of the other driver.
