My GoogleFu has failed me on this one, so I thought I’d ask the hive mind.
I’ve managed to get everything back under control to the point that I no longer need insulin and can go back to pills (Rybelsus once a day, Metformin twice a day), and it all looks good apart from the fact I live in the 5s - 7s instead of the 4s to 6s as I did before.
The good news however is that I’m told I can’t hypo on these pills! Pretty awesome.
We know the whole on to insulin, so only drive for 2 hours max, retest, 5 to drive, etc. but what do I need to do when I come off insulin?
Can I let them know early or do I need to wait for the 2 years and let them know at renewal date?
Do I need to keep following the insulin rules when driving because it’s a part of the conditions of the licence or can I just go back to my 4 hour non-stop blasts along the motorway?
I’d rather err on the side of caution, but if someone has some definitive info, that’d be great.
