[QUOTE="Sugargoth, post: 308372, member: 47840"] Hi Gary I was diagnosed about 15 years ago and I was a Field Sales Rep - I only stopped doing that about 2 years ago :) . My licence has to be renewed every 3 years but as long as you get early warning signs of a hypo, and obviously check your levels before you drive and don't have hypos at the wheel, you will be ok and they won't take it away. I have to go through the whole rigmarole every 3 years but I don't have to have a medical or anything - its just filling in paperwork, sending it back, them checking with your doctor etc. Honestly its painless :D And between you and me I'm the worst diabetic there is - I LOVE chocolate, bread, cakes, biscuits, anything that I'm not supposed to have tbh, it got worse after I was diagnosed I suppose it was cos I wasn't supposed to eat it and I hate anyone telling me what I should and should't' do. You'll be fine - if they still let ME drive you'll breeze through it :thumbup: All the best with it too Ali [/QUOTE]
