Diabetes and Driving: A Statement of the American Diabetes Association.

Many people with diabetes in the U.S. will seek or currently hold a license to drive.

Driving with diabetes: precaution, not prohibition, is the proper approach.

Safety issues posed by driving with diabetes are primarily related to severe hypoglycemia, yet some public authorities rely on categorical restrictions on drivers with diabetes. This approach is misguided. Regulation of all drivers with diabetes, or all drivers using insulin, ignores the diversity of people with diabetes and fails to focus on the subpopulation posing the greatest risk.
