I can’t believe they are right. You have a foreign license which entitles you to drive in the UK. DVLA should have no involvement with it. Only if post Brexit the UK decides to drive in UK you must have a UK licence, then they could insist that after being in UK for 12 months you must exchange...

Not an expert but I read government website to say you can drive in UK with a license issued in an EU country until you are 70 years old. Therefore UK DVLA has no involvement with licensing requirements but if issuing country requires being advised if on insulin presumably they should be...

If your license is not issued by DVLA in UK why would you have to advise them? As far as they are concerned you don’t have a license. When you say you have a European license do you mean one issued by a European country? If so depending on that country’s rules you may need to advise the...

The person travelling to Thailand has to have booking for quarantine paid before they are given permission to fly to Thailand. They will not be allowed on plane without authorisation from Thai embassy

I live in Thailand and take exception to your comment that Thai quarantine is not working too well. It is in fact working very well. Anyone arriving in Thailand has to have 2 weeks pre booked in a hotel designated as state quarantine. They have to have covid free certification before being...

Didn’t notice if you are type 1 or 2 I am type 2 and changed from novomix30 to Basal/Bolus regime as I found the 30% to 70% mixture did not work for me as I needed more long acting which meant I was getting too much fast acting and constantly going low before my next meal. I found the...

If all the test strips you have have the same (or earlier) date code on them they are past their use by date

I replied to your original post about Thailand. Are you still planning that trip. My only experience of diabetic meal on airplane was they think Diabetic means vegetarian (it was on Indian jet air) Most normal meals are not very substantial anyway so not sure how many carbs are in them and for...

I have been living on & off in Thailand since 2010 and permanently since 2015. Metformin is available in Thailand (500mg tablets prescribed by hospital doctor cost ฿1 each from hospital pharmacy) you may be able to purchase without doctors prescription but will probably cost a lot more so best...

A few years ago when I was put on insulin, after several years diet and tablets, my Diabetes Nurse provided the letter free of charge. She said doctor would charge. She was associated with hospital and visited surgery on certain days

I have now gone onto Website from my desktop computer and have managed to find my profile . I have guessed that the second Type 2 Box is the correct one for insulin dependent Type 2. Is this correct?

I have seen several posts about people’s profiles showing wrong type of diabetes. I have attempted to find my profile details but can find no details of my diabetes type or any way to show it. I am using the app on my I phone and have tried open the web on my phone and still can not follow any...

First time posting. 5.7 this morning Actually 7th time posting but first for a while

Update Forms received and sent off with letter 27Sep. New (3 year) Licence received today If I had known they could return so quickly I could have waited at least 1 more month

I hope they renew it for at least 3 years as the current one was for 3 years and I have never had a serious hypo requiring outside assistance, I always test before driving, and am aware if my levels are getting down around 4 and test to make sure. After multiple calls getting the "We are busy -...
