| Abstrakt: | Many people with diabetes in the U.S. will seek or currently hold a license to drive. For many, a driver's license is essential for everyday life. Considerable discussion has focused on whether, and the extent to which, diabetes may be a relevant factor in determining driver ability and eligibility for a license. This statement addresses such issues in relation to current scientific and medical evidence. A diagnosis of diabetes on its own is not sufficient to make judgments about an individual driver's ability or safety. This statement provides an overview of existing licensing rules for people with diabetes in the U.S., addresses the factors that affect driving ability, identifies general guidelines for assessing driver fitness and determining appropriately tailored licensing restrictions, and provides practical guidance for health care professionals regarding clinical interventions and education for people with diabetes.
