Receiving low-glucose alerts can improve diabetic drivers’ safety on the road

A Japanese study conducted by a team from Nagoya University Graduate School of Medicine found that the use of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) devices, equipped with sensors that alert diabetics when their blood sugar levels drop, can potentially make diabetic drivers safer on the road. Those who used such devices had lower incidences of low blood sugar and reported increased confidence in driving. The findings are published in Diabetes Research and Clinical Practice.
