Hi, I've been talking to a friend of mine who has been diabetic for 14 years. He has been on insulin for about 12 years and is type 1, and he has a BIG problem. He has never been told by anyone that he had to inform the DVLA about his diabetes and has only just found out that he should have.
He is so stressed that the DVLA will take his licence off him and he'll lose his job as he won't be able to drive.
Does anyone know how will the DVLA react if he fills in the medical notification form now when he should have done it 12 years ago. There is one question on the form asking when "insulin date was started", that's not going to be good i would have thought.
I don't really know how to advise him, apart from he has to inform them.
Does anyone here know the answer to this problem?
