[QUOTE="the_anticarb, post: 437225, member: 16982"] I'd be interested to know on what basis they revoked your licence. If you have never been hypo at the wheel and only had one hypo where an ambulance was called (did you require assistance to get out of the hypo or did you treat yourself before the ambulance came?) then I am not sure why it was revoked. Even if you did require assistance it is only the second time this happens that you would get a licence revoke, according to the rules as I understand them. The only thing I can think is that they contacted your consultant (which would presumably need your permission) and he or she has said that you have poor hypo awareness (frequent hypos <3 mmol/l). The paramedics can I believe inform the DVLA entirely independently when they deal with a situation where someone has gone hypo at the wheel but this clearly does not apply in your case. Its stories like this which may drive some diabetics underground......people will resist involving the emergency services in the case of a hypo in case they get a licence revoke. [/QUOTE]
