Hi carb Foods
@david67
What meds are you on for the diabetes?
DVLA shouldn't steal your C1 unless you are on insulin.
Even on insulin you should have B+E (if you are pre '97) which should cover your for a 3.5 tonner

I don't know. Much depends on medications you take, and obviously your health. The DVLA website has lots of useful information, if you ask Dr Google.

for this lot there should be no auto ban on C1 or D1 as you are not on insulin if your licence is pre 1997 you should still have your +E on your codes so should be licenced for a trailer.
I am OK for my ELWB Iveco & 2.5 tonne trailer!
