Correct answer: CCarry fast-acting carbohydrate and check glucose according to driving guidance

Insulin-treated patients need practical hypoglycaemia prevention and driving safety advice. In this vignette, "Carry fast-acting carbohydrate and check glucose according to driving guidance" is the safest single best answer. The other options are less appropriate because they miss the key clinical risk, conflict with UK medicines guidance, or delay needed review.
