We explore the levels of risk incurred by the possibility of diabetic patients falling into hypoglycemia when driving. To that end, we measure and analyze statistically the glycemia and its changes in a fine time resolution by means of continuous blood glucose measurements, both during driving (which take place as a part of usual patient’s schedule) and in other situations. By careful semiparametric (spline-based) statistical modeling, we analyze the typical blood glucose trajectory when driving and derive various characteristics of practical interest (e.g. duration of visits to several important blood sugar concentration intervals and their long time proportions when driving).
