DID YOU KNOW ??
DRIVING WITH DIABETES
If you develop diabetes you must inform the driver licensing authorities in your state or territory.
In most cases, if you manage your diabetes by insulin you will require a medical certificate every two years. If you manage it by tablet, every five years. If you manage your diabetes by diet and physical activity alone—you are still required to inform them.
If you are required to notify the authorities but do not, you could be charged with driving offences if you have a driving accident.
