Diabetic Testing
DIABETIC HbA1c TESTING
For commercial drivers managing diabetes, maintaining proper blood sugar control is both a health priority and a regulatory requirement. The FMCSA has specific guidelines for insulin-treated diabetic drivers, and HbA1c testing is a key part of demonstrating compliance.
At Drivers Health Clinic, we offer on-site HbA1c blood testing at all three of our Florida locations. Our team understands the unique health challenges faced by professional drivers and works with you to keep you healthy, compliant, and on the road.
If you have questions about diabetes management and your CDL, call us at (352) 643-1034.
What is HbA1c?
HbA1c (hemoglobin A1c) is a blood test that measures your average blood sugar levels over the past 2–3 months. It's the gold standard for monitoring diabetes management.
Why It Matters for CDL Drivers
The FMCSA requires insulin-treated diabetic drivers to demonstrate adequate blood sugar control to maintain their CDL medical certification. An HbA1c test provides the documentation needed.

We perform HbA1c testing on-site at our Florida locations. Results are available quickly so you can move forward with your DOT physical or medical card renewal.
