Diabetes can affect driving ability in different ways, particularly where blood glucose levels fluctuate or there is a risk of hypoglycaemia (low blood sugar). Symptoms such as dizziness, blurred vision, reduced concentration, confusion, or delayed reactions can significantly affect safe driving performance.

Under RSA and NDLS medical fitness guidelines, individuals treated with insulin or medications that may increase the risk of hypoglycaemia may be required to provide medical information and undergo periodic review to ensure continued fitness to drive.

Atlantic Driving Assessments provides independent driving evaluations that consider the practical impact of diabetes, medication management, energy levels, and cognitive performance on day-to-day driving ability.

Our detailed reports can support healthcare recommendations and assist with licence applications, renewals, or decisions regarding a safe return to driving.
