mellitus, received education related to
diabetes management, and is on a stable
insulin regimen. These drivers report no
other disqualifying conditions,
including diabetes related
complications. Each meets the vision
requirement at 49 CFR 391.41(b)(10).
Consequently, FMCSA finds that in
each case exempting these applicants
from the diabetes requirement in 49 CFR
391.41(b)(3) is likely to achieve a level
of safety equal to that existing without
the exemption.
V. Conditions and Requirements
The terms and conditions of the
exemption are provided to the
applicants in the exemption document
and includes the following: (1) Each
driver must submit a quarterly
monitoring checklist completed by the
treating endocrinologist as well as an
annual checklist with a comprehensive
medical evaluation; (2) each driver must
report within two business days of
occurrence, all episodes of severe
hypoglycemia, significant
complications, or inability to manage
diabetes; also, any involvement in an
accident or any other adverse event in
a CMV or personal vehicle, whether or
not it is related to an episode of
hypoglycemia; (3) each driver must
provide a copy of the ophthalmologist’s
or optometrist’s report to the Medical
Examiner at the time of the annual
medical examination; and (4) each
driver must provide a copy of the
annual medical certification to the
employer for retention in the driver’s
qualification file, or keeping a copy in
his/her driver’s qualification file if he/
she is self-employed. The driver must
also have a copy of the exemption when
driving, for presentation to a duly
authorized Federal, State, or local
enforcement official.

VI. Preemption

effect, no State shall enforce any law or
regulation that conflicts with this
exemption with respect to a person
operating under the exemption.
VII. Conclusion

exemption applications, FMCSA
exempts the following drivers from the
diabetes requirement in 49 CFR
391.41(b)(10), subject to the

The physical qualification standard for drivers regarding diabetes
