Driving is an important part of daily life for many people, and having diabetes doesn’t mean you need to stop. It does mean taking a few extra steps to stay safe and feel confident on the road.
Understanding how diabetes affects you, especially if you take medication that can cause hypos, can help you plan ahead.
You should inform the DVLA and your insurance company about your diabetes and follow the guidelines on the DVLA website.
Young people learning to drive can also find support through Diabetes UK and SEREN Connect, which offers practical guidance and reassurance.
This section links to clear information and resources to help you feel prepared and supported.
