I've had diabetes since I was 3, so 19 years now, my Mam was the one who kept me in check but unfortunately she passed away 2 year ago and left me at a bit of a loss to be honest. I haven't had any bad hypos in years, I generally know when my bloods are low and what actions to take.
I think when my mam died I wanted to have something that I could control and not have people tell me what should be done, I mean it's my body, my life. Stupid thinking really. I didn't stop taking my insulin or anything, just didn't check my bloods, ate and drank what I wanted and generally didn't want to know.
Now I want to get sorted, I want to learn to drive, and I got my medical form through today and I'm worried that because I haven't seen anyone about my diabetes in a couple of years that the DVLA are just going to basically say no to letting me learn to drive ):
Has anyone got any felt this way or went through anything similar? Any help is good.
