Metformin is legal to use while driving. You'll only get a 12 month DOT medical card though.
If you keep it to yourself, you'll get a 2 yr. DOT medical card. -
They won't do a finger stick test unless they find sugar in your urine.
Diabetes can he tricky for a dot physical. I usually eat something that is no carbs before the test, like string cheese and carrots the morning of. Just so I am not hungry while waiting. Avoid soda that is not diet. No sugar in coffee, use Splenda or the pink packets.Trucker61016, CJ701 and Lepton1 Thank this. -
