About

Hypo-drive is a non-profit national educational awareness program aimed at educating diabetic drivers and their loved ones about the dangers of driving while suffering from a hypoglycaemic or hyperglycaemic episode.

Led by Sharon Whitchurch, a Brisbane mother of three whose life was devastated by a 2006 head-on collision caused by a diabetic driver who had ignored his warning signs before getting behind the wheel, the Hypo-drive program is also useful for anyone suffering from any medical condition that may impair driving ability, along with their family and friends.

Hypo-drive’s outreach efforts include presentations to community, business and government organizations, free drivers education seminars and lessons for diabetic drivers, distribution of free hypo packs to diabetic drivers and public awareness initiatives.
