Now that just shows how dumb you are if you think sight is not
essential for driving!!!

You seem to be ignoring the fact that many diabetics, especially if they're
the more common type 2, aren't likely to have any hypoglycemic comas.

And your proof of this absurd assertion is what, exactly?

Just because you pull complete nonsense out of your ass
doesn't make it a "real possibility", "very" or otherwise, jackass.

You're lying again, jackass.

Why not> You think that operational brakes are not essential to
driving....

"Speeders & Drunk Drivers Are MURDERERS," advocates 
driving a car with half of its braking system inoperative:

"If you drive slow and supplement the front brakes with
 transmission braking, you'll be fine -  as long as the
 front brakes don't spring a leak too. Big thing is
 drive slow."

Having ridden with my GF many miles (she has the nicer car - mine is a
1964 model) I will say that I have no fear about her having a diabetic
problem and being in an accident.
(She hasn't had one in over fifty years driving.)
I do worry about her not looking far enough ahead and following too
close, though, as I would with anyone.

Diabetes could be a problem with a driver ignorant of having it.
(Hey, OP, When was the last time your blood/sugar was tested?
GF does it several times a day,)

Why should Diabetics be allowed to drive?

a better question would be 'why not' ?

ANYONE can have a sudden unexpected heart attack at the wheel of their 
vehicle, and kill the people in the car(s) they hit

Why not drunks, epileptics and those under 16 yrs old ?

Sure, and pigs might fly if they had wings.
