Some diabetics prone to unsafe driving choices

Another way fat people endanger our safety.
"Drivers with diabetes who have trouble telling when their blood sugar is low may get behind the wheel when they shouldn't, a small study suggests.

The study, of 65 adults with type 1 or type 2 diabetes, found that many of those with impaired awareness of hypoglycemia symptoms thought they were OK to drive even when their blood sugar was dangerously low."

Type 2 diabetes is most commonly caused by being too fat.

Caveat driver and pedestrian.
