Yet again the DVLA medical section are meddling with the driving laws. The bottom line is if truth be told, is that the DVLA don't want any diabetic driving. I mean they nit pick at every thing, and mention the word insulin! is another matter! I found them brutal, ruthless, and robotic, I have...

I am with you on this, with the experience I've had with the DVLA medical centre, I've told them straight that if you take Insulin your treated no different to a drug addict on class A drugs. totally heartless bunch. Trying to get a job is another thing! It's a cure they need, not lining the...
