Aims All drivers requiring insulin treatment must be able to demonstrate satisfactory diabetic control and recognition of hypoglycaemic symptoms before being allowed to drive a motor vehicle. Clinicians have a duty to discuss fitness to drive with their patients. However, is the advice given consistent and in line with the regulations published by the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Authority (DVLA)? Methods Six ‘real‐life’ case scenarios were posted to clinicians (consultant diabetologists, specialist registrars and diabetes specialist nurses) within Wessex, UK. The identical cases were also sent to the DVLA for their comments. Results Sixty‐six doctors (36 consultants) and 70 diabetes specialist nurses were contacted by postal questionnaire of which replies were received from 17 consultants (47%), 17 specialist registrars (57%) and 39 diabetes specialist nurses (56%). Although there was general agreement in cases of hypoglycaemia unawareness, there was disagreement where patients had or were at risk of unstable control albeit for a short time. Conclusions Patients treated with insulin may receive conflicting information concerning their ability to drive. 相似文献

OBJECTIVES: To describe older adults' driving patterns, including self‐imposed driving restrictions and motor vehicle crashes (MVCs). DESIGN: The Second Injury Control and Risk Survey (ICARIS‐2) was a national, random‐digit‐dial telephone survey conducted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in 2001 to 2003. ICARIS‐2 sampled 113,476 English‐ and Spanish‐speaking households, using weighting variables to generate national estimates. RESULTS: The response rate was 48% (N=9,684). Six percent (n=728) of respondents were aged 75 and older. Of these, 85.6% (n=613) were aged 75 to 84, and 14.4% (n=115) were aged 85 and older; 59.2% were female. Three‐fourths (74.9%, 95% confidence interval (CI)=70.4–79.4%) of adults aged 75 to 84 and 69.9% (95% CI=48.2–71.6%) aged 85 and older were current drivers. Most (81.9%; 95% CI=77.6–86.2%) older drivers limited their driving, usually in bad weather (59.0%), at night (57.0%), on long trips (49.6%), in traffic (49.0%), or at high speeds (33.6%); only 15.4% limited driving for medical reasons. Women were more likely to self‐limit driving (odds ratio (OR)=1.83, 95% CI=0.99–3.39). Few (4.2%, 95% CI=2.4–6.1%) older adults reported MVC involvement in the past year as a driver or passenger. In multivariate analysis, drivers living alone (OR=3.93, 95% CI=1.55–9.95) and men (OR=2.59, 95% CI=1.18–5.67) were more likely to report a recent crash; drivers who self‐limited were less likely (OR=0.55, 95% CI=0.18–1.60). CONCLUSION: Large majorities of older adults, including those aged 85 and older, are current drivers. Although many limit driving in hazardous conditions, fewer do for medical reasons. Men and older adults who live alone are more likely to report a recent MVC; those who self‐limit their driving are less likely to report crash involvement. 相似文献
