DOT Physical Requirements for Diabetic CDL Drivers Drivers Taking Oral Diabetes Medications

Most CDL drivers who take oral medications such as metformin can qualify for a 12-month DOT medical certificate, provided their diabetes is well controlled and there is no history of severe hypoglycemia.

Drivers Using Insulin

Insulin-treated drivers can still pass a DOT physical by completing the FMCSA Insulin-Treated Diabetes Assessment Form (MCSA-5870) and demonstrating stable blood sugar control. Dr. David Moreland is experienced in reviewing these forms and conducting DOT exams for insulin-dependent drivers.
