WOW! Just WOW! Sounds like the UK government has it all under control. They are really looking out for you guys! /sarcasm

Diabetics prone to hypoglycemia know that they need to carry something with them just in case. The diabetics I know always carry something with them. It's called self-preservation. Diabetic coma and/or death is not something they want to experience.

Sad part is, I can see the US headed in the same direction. We have so much to look forward to.

This is real and VERY dangerous, Its about time.

Ive seen the accidents , To see a oncoming car swerve and runaway out of control into your lane of traffic is something youll never forget, much, much worse than a drunk driver trying to stay in the lane.

They could kill their kids or someone elses kids.

I saw what I strongly suspected was a driver have a diabetic attack in front of me while he was driving down the street. He was mildly convulsing as he drove up to, and then passed out at the light in front of me for like 60 seconds. Then he woke up and drove on. I called the police and gave his plate number hoping they'd stop him before he killed someone. He did not appear drunk, but sick. I do think these folks are taking lives and are not discriminating enough to know it's not safe for them to be driving. I'm all for freedom, but not at the expense of people's lives being lost because of people who have serious health conditions and can't discern that's it's unsafe to drive.

My Mom had grand mal seizures. She found out over 30 years after diagnosis that it wasn't epilepsy after all. It was hypoglycemia. She was not allowed to drive most of her life due to her "epilepsy" diagnosis and that's a GOOD THING. I would only expect the same for those prone to a low blood sugar seizure and/or blackout.
