| Definitely get glucose tabs! Gels and liquids are okay, but they tpically come in one serving bottles. The tubes of tabs containg between 3 and 4 servings depending on how many you take at one time, and you can buy giant jars to refill with. They are great in situations like that. Also, if you don't carry your meter with you, you need to start doing so.
As others have suggested, you also need to start testing anytime you even *think* you are low, and before each and every drive. CGMS is also a good idea to look into if you have insurance. Most people get denied at first, but if you push it they will probably cover it. You are very lucky that you were not hurt. That must have been scary indeed.
I would also look at this as a learning experience for your loved ones. Your girlfriend was in the position to potentially stop you from driving but obviously did not realize the danger. Let your good friends/family know that if you act strange to ask you to test. They can be a great help if you trust them.
