N2  - The paper reviews some recent articles on hypoglycaemia, and the prevalence of road traffic accidents, respectively, as experienced by diabetic patients. Two aspects are particularly emphasised: according to recent recommendations, type-1 (insulin-dependent) diabetic patients are advised to strive for near-normoglycaemia, which may, in turn, increase their risk of getting hypoglycaemia; hence, car driving may become particularly dangerous for insulin-treated patients. The recent literature contradicts the widely held belief that insulin-treated diabetics are more frequently involved in road traffic accidents than the average population. However, there are some subpopulations among the type-1 diabetic patients who may need special safeguards against hypoglycaemia-induced road traffic accidents; this issue is being discussed in the paper in more detail.<p />  <p>Language: de</p>
