Hypoglycemia is mainly a risk for insulin-dependent diabetics, who represent
only a small minority of diabetics (particularly when one considers only those
who are especially at risk of hypoglycemia).

There are some jurisdictions that prohibit diabetics from driving, although
that's an extreme overreaction with no justification in reality.

Also, the idiots who drive under the
influence are "medically incapacitated" while they're high
on booze or drugs, which account for a large percentage
of accidents. Alcoholism and drug addiction is considered
a disease.

Substance abuse is a choice that one makes independently of uncontrollable
medical factors. Alcohol is a leading cause of automobile accidents, but
nothing forces anyone to drink alcohol.

Wonderful...Now he's a medical expert too?
