Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if he will bring forward proposals to ensure that the use of closed-loop insulin monitoring systems is taken into account when assessing whether a person with diabetes is fit to drive.

In January 2018, the law was changed to allow alternative methods of glucose monitoring to be accommodated for drivers of cars and motorcycles. This includes the use of closed-loop insulin monitoring systems, where a continuous glucose monitoring system (CGMS) monitors glucose levels. The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency is gathering evidence to consider if the use of CGMS systems can be extended to drivers of HGVs and buses.
