years of experience operating CMVs 

while being treated with insulin; and (2) 

the establishment of a specified 

minimum period of insulin use to 

demonstrate stable control of diabetes 

before being allowed to operate a CMV. 

In response to section 4129, FMCSA 

made immediate revisions to the 

diabetes exemption program established 

by the September 3, 2003 notice. 

FMCSA discontinued use of the 3-year 

driving experience and fulfilled the 

requirements of section 4129 while 

continuing to ensure that operation of 

CMVs by drivers with ITDM will 

achieve the requisite level of safety 

required of all exemptions granted 

under 49 USC. 31136(e). 

Section 4129(d) also directed FMCSA 

to ensure that drivers of CMVs with 

ITDM are not held to a higher standard 

than other drivers, with the exception of 

limited operating, monitoring and 

medical requirements that are deemed 

medically necessary. FMCSA concluded 

that all of the operating, monitoring and 

medical requirements set out in the 

September 3, 2003 notice, except as 

modified, were in compliance with 

section 4129(d). Therefore, all of the 

requirements set out in the September 3, 

2003 notice, except as modified in the 

notice in the Federal Register on 

November 8, 2005 (70 FR 67777), 

remain in effect.
