Do you live in Australia, take insulin or other glucose-lowering medications, and have a driver’s licence? Whether you use Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) or not, your experience matters. We're conducting a national survey on CGM and driving to help improve road safety and diabetes care.
We’re running a national survey to better understand what people with diabetes think about using Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) when driving — and what could make it safer and easier. Whether you use CGM every day, only occasionally, or not at all, your experiences and opinions matter.
✅ Open to Australian adults using insulin or other glucose-lowering medications
🚗 Must hold a valid driver’s licence
🕒 Survey takes around 20 minutes to complete
🗓️ Closes 15 July 2025
🔒 All responses are anonymous
This research will help shape future road safety guidelines and diabetes technology improvements across Australia.
