Driving is an essential and intrinsic part of everyday living. For example: driving to and from the workplace: potentially driving at work: and just for everyday autonomy. Driving involves a series of complex skills: visual: spatial: memory: judgement: motor skills. Living with Diabetes can potentially affect these skills. DVLA regulations1 in relation to Diabetes focus on low blood sugar and hypoglycaemia. This informative course will provide information on the requirements for glucose testing when driving for people with Diabetes including information on when to inform driving authorities on changes in medical condition.
At Dexcom, we believe that with diabetes, knowledge is power, we’ve spent the last 20 years innovating and developing simpler and better ways for people with type 1 diabetes to measure, track and manage their diabetes. When Dexcom was established the only way to measure glucose levels was to fingerstick, it gave us a snapshot not a story which made it difficult to understand our glucose levels and trends over time or feel in control of our diabetes. Since then, we’ve launched the world’s first real-time CGM system and helped to eliminate more than 11 billion fingersticks.
