Hi
@Copernicus . . .
Insulin-treated Diabetics must complete the DIAB1 form in order to get their reduced (1 or 2 or 3 year) license. On the form you must sign and date the following boxed statement:
DECLARATION: For Insulin treated only – I have insulin treated diabetes and I understand the need to test my blood glucose/sugar at times relevant to driving (not more than 2 hours before the start of the first journey and every 2 hours while driving).
Are you saying that this signed/dated declaration is not a legally-enforceable statement?
Regards
Antony
Congratulations Copernicus and diamondnostril, you're both right !
I can test my blood at 8 am (before injection/breakfast), then get in my car at 9.30 am, for a 20 -minute drive to work, without needing to retest.
I can't get in my car at 10.01 without retesting. Each test provides a 2 -hour umbrella, WITHIN WHICH it's okay to drive.
So, there's no legal requirement to test before driving. Only to be under the umbrella, and to retest when the umbrella closes.
And, breathe .......
