many patients with diabetes don't realize when their blood sugar is too low to drive safely

New research shows that many patients with diabetes don't realize when their blood sugar is too low to drive safely.

Part of the problem is that hypoglycemia can cloud judgment. Patients sometimes think they can drive...when they shouldn't.

Advise patients not to drive if their blood glucose drops below 65 mg/dL...even if they don't feel impaired.
