We do not hold information on diabetes-related road accidents. The data on personal injury road accidents includes contributory factors which the police select when they attend the scene. These do not assign blame for the accident but give an indication of factors which the attending officer thought contributed to the accident, and are not broken down to record particular types of medical condition.
