  1. Speed up to get home faster
  2. Check your meter at the next red light
  3. Pull over safely, then check and treat ✔

Why: Checking or treating a low should never happen while driving. Pull over, check, treat, and don't drive again until your blood sugar is back to a safe level.

Huh, didn't know that: ADA suggests checking blood sugar before you drive and keeping fast-acting carbs like glucose tablets in the car.
