From: DTeam Staff

Absolutely, but the diabetes usually needs to be declared on the driver’s license application.

[Editor’s comment: As published on the Canadian Diabetes Association website:
Most provinces and territories require that a licensed driver immediately report any medical condition that may affect one’s ability to operate a motor vehicle safely. Diabetes is one of those conditions.
