Different countries have different rules insofar as diabetes connects with driving... but at least here you don't have to tell your insurance company that you're diabetic. If you go and have an accident while hypo your insurance company is gonna find out, and your rates are going to go up, so don't do that. (that is actually one of the more minor reasons not to do that, the major one being, you don't want to end up dead!) Ask your doctor, or you could try the Canadian Diabetes Association http://www.diabetes.ca/ they'd probably be able to give you info about laws etc. in your area.

And yeah, you're still gonna have to test no matter what insulin delivery system you use. Anyone who tells you different is selling something.
