Correct answer: C — Stop driving and seek medical review of awareness

The best answer is “Stop driving and seek medical review of awareness”. Impaired awareness of hypoglycaemia makes insulin-treated driving unsafe. The person should stop driving and obtain clinical review, with DVLA notification requirements considered under the applicable rules. Glucose monitoring and restoration of awareness are necessary, but a passenger or shorter journey does not compensate for inability to recognise deterioration.
