Upon reflection, I realized that I shouldn't be too annoyed with the DMV for questioning my diabetes.  It is important that the state protect the public from potentially unfit drivers.  However, it is always frustrating to be questioned about your control from someone who obviously knows little to nothing about diabetes.

 

Instead of focusing on what I can't control, namely diabetes education for the general population; I'm going to take this experience as a reminder to stay vigilant about my driving safety.  Although I've never had a diabetes episode that I couldn't remedy on my own, the potential is always there.  I want to tell the DMV each time they ask that I've had zero incidences that would jeopardize my ability to drive safely.
