    Anyone on here follow Formula 1? I am an absolute addict, and watch as much as I can. Austrailia showed the Mercedes dominance, but what does the rest of the season hold?

    Type 1 and your job.

    I've always had a long term issue with maintaining my glucose levels and activity required in my job role. I feel that I have it now at a good level and relatively stable. My job involves very varying levels of physical work. Some days I can be virtually desk bound, but others demand high...

    DVLA and driving licence problems.

    I know that there is probably some box ticking somewhere that has gone wrong, but in the real short term it doesn't help my stress levels or help 'life' in general! I need a licence to work and I am not sure the DVLA take this into account at all. I know 100% that I am no driving risk at all...

    DVLA and driving licence problems.

    Thanks for this, I think you have hit the nail on the head. I have never once had a 'severe' hypo as defined by the DVLA, however I have declared low blood sugar episodes that I have had. I have total awareness of my symptoms and am able to deal with things before they really get going! I have...

    DVLA and driving licence problems.

    Hi 1st time poster on here! Has anyone here had any issues with the DVLA regarding revoking their car licence? I've had various letters from them regarding this, and from what I can see, there seems to be an issue around hypoglaecemia and 'severe' episodes. I could go into more detail if...
