Diabetes and Driving

People with diabetes are fine to drive as long as certain medical requirements are met. Depending on your medication regime, you may have more or less relaxed conditions under which you can drive.

You should inform the DVLA if any of the following conditions apply:

- You are taking insulin
- You are applying for a license and are on tablets
- You have lost awareness of hypoglycemia
- You have difficulty with your vision that could affect your driving
- You have complications that could affect your driving

If you're on insulin, you will be put onto a 1, 2 or 3 year license which will need to be renewed before its expiry.

You need only inform your insurance provider if your license changes to a different form of restricted license.
