I have been diagnosed type 2 for about three years now and my readings have been up and down sometimes and good on others.
The thing I’m trying to find out about is this:
The dvsa/dvla say that as I have 2 vocational lisences (hgv & psv)
I need to be testing every 2 hours. This proves very difficult and time consuming when you have to keep stopping and testing and recording results. A cgm monitor would be a brilliant leap forward but I have been told that this is not possible, as they can only be prescribed by a diabetes doctor at the hospital. I have thought about purchasing one myself but they are extremely costly and well above my budget, both for the machine and the sensors. Any views?
