Driving with diabetic neuropathy study
Part of Brain & nervous system, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at how diabetic neuropathy (nerve damage from diabetes) affects driving safety. You may join if you have type 2 diabetes with or without neuropathy and are an experienced driver in the UK.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study uses ultrasound (an imaging test) to measure the nerves in the legs of people with type 2 diabetes who have nerve damage. It helps doctors learn more about how diabetes affects nerves.
This study looks at how diabetes affects nerves, including those that control automatic functions like sweating and heart rate. Researchers will use ultrasound and electrical tests to check for nerve damage in people with diabetes, and compare results to healthy volunteers.
This trial tests if a special sensory training program can improve balance, walking, and daily function in people with type 2 diabetes who have nerve damage (neuropathy). It may help you move better and feel more steady on your feet.
This trial looks for and studies early nerve problems in the feet or legs that can happen with diabetes, before nerve damage is clearly diagnosed. It may help doctors better predict who is at risk and understand early changes.
This study looks at how well people with diabetes-related nerve damage (diabetic peripheral neuropathy) can walk, using a treadmill and walking distance tests. It may help improve understanding of walking limits and how to measure change over time.
This study compares two types of exercise to see if they can help improve nerve health in people with type 2 diabetes who have nerve damage in their feet or legs. You may join if you have had diabetes for at least 5 years, have moderate blood sugar control, and do not currently exercise regularly.
