Driving and hypoglycaemia: questions and answers

摘要

We would like to clarify the Association of British Clinical Diabetologists (ABCD) response to the recent European Union directive on standards for driving in diabetes. These changes have been adopted and, although clarification has been sought regarding severe hypoglycaemia, there are no exceptions to the regulations that have been brought in. These will have a significant impact on drivers with diabetes treated with insulin (and in some cases sulphonylurea treatment), and for those who complete medical reports for the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA).
