Hypodrive

*** FREE APP DURING OCTOBER 2012 ***

If you are living with diabetes and drive a motor vehicle, the fact is that it may impair your driving ability. This App contains a 10 minute video about Hypodrive plus a series of 20 questions to test your understanding of the topic. The presentation in the video aims to give you an understanding of the very serious issues that can affect millions of people and can arise if you are experiencing hypoglycaemia or having a hypo as it is commonly called. We aim to raise awareness and educate about recognising and acting on the signs and symptoms of having a hypo. These symptoms can include shaking, hunger, weakness, tearfulness, feeling light-headed, sweating, crying, blurred vision, headache, lacking concentration, behaviour change, tingly fingers or lips, and drowsiness.

After viewing the video, to assist your understanding of this topic, you can complete a Quiz consisting of 20 multiple choice questions. The Quiz includes an optional ëhintí button which enables you to review the portion of the video related to the question. However if a ëhintí is used to answer the question, the maximum score out of 1 for a correct answer will be .5. You also have the option to Tweet your results to others.
