Help Your Drivers Be Diabetes Healthy on the Road

With 92% turn over in trucking, it can be challenging to attract and retain drivers. And, when you have a dedicated driver, how do you help ensure that they’re living healthy on the road?

The prevalence of type 2 diabetes among truck drivers is nearly twice that of the general population (14 percent vs. 9 percent). Drivers with diabetes, depending on their treatment and/or related complications, can run the risk of not qualifying for or maintaining their commercial driver’s license—ultimately taking away their livelihood and your driver.

Nationally known dietitian and author of a guide to healthy restaurant eating who presented at this year’s Accelerate!! conference, will discuss how to help your drivers make healthy decisions while on the road. She will also highlight how employers and fleets can leverage the power of available apps and digital health tools with proven clinical outcomes to help their drivers better manage their diabetes and related chronic diseases.
