This report describes the main findings of the research programme commissioned by the Department for Transport as part of its Fitness to Drive programme and carried out between December 2001 and July 2005. This was a multi-centre epidemiological study, undertaken in six centres across the UK. Two further sub-studies —a clamp study to determine the level at which Type 2 diabetes patients first start to develop clinically important cognitive impairment, and an examination of the relationship between the self-monitoring of blood glucose and the risk of either low interstitial glucose or self-reported hypoglycaemia —will be described and published in separate short reports.
