Position statements

Diabetes UK has always campaigned to ensure that people with diabetes are assessed fairly for their fitness to drive. We believe that all people with diabetes should be able to drive if they can prove their medical fitness. This position statement sets out the new rules for assessing fitness to drive for people with diabetes and Diabetes UK’s advice for drivers.

It also summarises our concerns about the new rules and how we are working with the DVLA to ensure that the licensing assessment process for people with diabetes is fair, transparent and safe.
