hypoglycemia unawareness and driving in diabetes
Hypoglycemia unawareness and driving in diabetes refers to a condition where individuals with diabetes are unable to sense or recognize when their blood sugar levels drop too low. This lack of awareness poses a safety risk while driving, as it can lead to sudden episodes of low blood sugar and impaired cognitive function, increasing the likelihood of accidents on the road.
