Here are the Guidelines from the Canadian Diabetes Association...
and when I contacted the Nova Scotia Registry of Motor Vehicles I received this reply: Quote:
"Thank you for your email enquiry...concerning regulations regarding reporting of a medical condition.
In response to your email, I offer the following.
There is no legislation that specifically requires a person diagnosed with diabetes to advise the Registry of Motor Vehicles of their condition, however, the Registry of Motor Vehicles may request whatever information that is required, including medical information, at any time.
Currently, there are several situations when the Registrar requires medical information be provided:
1) whenever a person first obtains a drivers licence or renews a drivers licence;
2) whenever a person upgrades their license to a class higher than a class 5 operators licence;
3) whenever the Registrar has received information indicating that a person may have a medical related situation which may impact their ability to operate a motor vehicle.
If you require any further information regarding this matter, please feel free to contact me either by email(RMV@gov.ns.ca)...
or by telephone at 1-800-898-7668 or 902-424-5851."
