Diabetics should not drive: Dubai Traffic Chief
By Staff
Published Monday, February 18, 2013
Dubai’s traffic police chief was reported on Monday as saying persons suffering from diabetes or other serious diseases should not be allowed to drive.

In comments published in the Arabic language newspapers, Major General Mohammed Al Zafin said those afflicted with diabetes, epilepsy or other illnesses that cause fainting should be accompanied by healthy adult persons if they have a driving licence.

“I call on authorities to revise rules giving or renewing driving licences to old people or those suffering from diabetes, epileptic seizures or sudden fainting…drivers who already have a licence and suffer from such illnesses should be accompanied by healthy adults,” Zafin said.

He said ill drivers are a key cause of road accidents, adding that Dubai would work this year to cut the road death rate. His figures showed the rate had already dropped to 122 in 2012 from 134 in 2011.

“2013 is the biggest challenge for us in our drive to reduce deaths in road accidents…..our target is that the death rate should not exceed 104 in 2013.”

Dear Belila ;

yes the LCD is magic !

There are a view steps you can try:

1.) Get the Book - Dr. Bernstein's Diabetes Solution ( the diabetic guru for LCD ! )
2.) Increase your protein intake so you wont feel hungry during the day
3.) Increase Exercise ( min 30 min per day ) will keep your BS low.

Examples:

Breakfast : Omelet / Eggs / with Vegetables
Lunch : Meat / Fish / with Salad or Vegetables as much as u like
Dinner : Meat / Fish / with Salad or Vegetables as much as u like

Snacks: Almonds / Low Carb Crackers / 1 Joghurt

You can try Dr. Bernsteins Recepies ... there are so many great ways to change your daily routine... even when u go to restaurants you can follow the same concept...

Good Luck nd let me know your thoughts

Hi Haya,

I am with the pump. I am afraid that your diary will not work with me. With the pump you can view the bolus or carb you've taken and the units also. Ita an emazing buddy. It took me 6 moths to get to know it better but i am happy with it now. I use to do all what you'r doing by doing charts and following them up. i live in dubai and i can give you my doctor contact if you want to..... Keep the good work..
