    Many patients with insulin-dependent diabetes (IDD) do not declare their condition when applying for driving licenses, potentially due to unawareness of regulations. This raises concerns about road safety for diabetic drivers.

    Area of Science:

    • Medical Research
    • Public Health
    • Road Safety

    Background:

    • Insulin-dependent diabetes (IDD) affects driving ability.
    • Disclosure of medical conditions is crucial for road safety.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To assess the declaration rates of IDD among licensed drivers.
    • To investigate the prevalence of hypoglycemia and accidents in this group.

    Main Methods:

    • Survey of 250 patients with IDD holding driving licenses.
    • Data collection on license/insurance declaration, hypoglycemia, accidents, and vision impairment.

    Main Results:

    • 42.8% of patients did not declare IDD on their driving license application.
    • 34.4% experienced severe/frequent hypoglycemia while driving.

  • 13.6% were involved in accidents, with hypoglycemia as a factor in some.

    • Conclusions:

    • Significant underreporting of IDD exists among drivers.
    • Hypoglycemia poses a risk to diabetic drivers.
    • Further awareness campaigns on declaration requirements are needed.
