[QUOTE="Molly56, post: 998811, member: 84857"] I appreciate the points made here but just wondered how many other people have been made aware that neuropathy is notifiable to the DVLA.....and at what stage of neuropathy should that be done.... ...I know that annual foot checks are carried out to test for signs of neuropathy but has anyone been told that they should perhaps not be driving because of a loss of sensation in the feet....what if it is only a slight loss ....and how many people are referred on for further tests or official diagnosis of 'peripheral neuropathy'....to my knowledge my OH has not been officially diagnosed with this or told that he has it....just think it is something hidden on his medical records that the HCP has not highlighted as an official problem with his diabetes... ....how many other people are there out there in the same position... ....just to clarify the position here....I think that he has 'loss of sensation' rather than 'no feeling'.....but guess this is all on a sliding scale from total feeling to no feeling ....where he falls within that scale I don't know for sure and don't feel that this has necessarily been picked up on at any foot check or suggested that further investigation is required....think it is all a bit of a grey area and not enough guidance given....
