If she is diabetic, and especially if she is driving on a road where I am, or members of my family are, driving, she better damn well be taking her medication. Or she can stay off the roads.

Did you ever know anyone who's diabetic? These things aren't an exact science - one might be taking their medication yet still occasionally develop problems based upon diet, exercise, etc.

? These things [controllng diabetes] aren't an exact science - one might be taking their medication yet still occasionally develop problems based upon diet, exercise, etc.

The nice response: Then shouldn't we reconsider giving driver's licenses to people with diabetes?

The nasty response: I'm sure the person whose child is killed by some diabetic person having a hypoglycaemic crisis will be comforted by being told that it isn't an exact science.

I wonder if this shouldn't be considered. I don't know, I'm just wondering.

"These things aren't an exact science"

Driving IS! Especially when I may be coming in the opposite direction!

I assure you, my family will not be comforted by the fact that I was killed by a diabetic who "was having a problem with her dosages because of diet and exercise".

Let her figure it out, and when she's problem free for about a month, then she can drive.
