title: Does occupational driving increase the risk of cardiovascular disease in people with diabetes?
abstract: Occupational driving may increase cardiovascular events. We studied the risk of overall cardiovascular events in occupational professional drivers against matched controls in a cohort of people with diabetes (N=6563). There was an increase in overall cardiovascular events in occupational drivers despite similar risk factors. This particular occupational risk factor may need to be addressed.
