You are right that I filled out a form which i signed and declared as true saying that I suffered hypos, first communication I got was the letter from the DVLA pulling my license. The evidence I have provided them is a statement in a letter correcting the form, apologising for the mistake I...

Your not going to inflame the situation, I am just not prepared to be treated in the way that the DVLA think is acceptable customer service.

Because I don't want to give the DVLA the easy way out as I am within the 8 week period where I can re-apply anyway and because I have legitimate complaints the complaints department could I as suspect dismiss them because they have to give me my license back at the end of the month.

I am having major problems with the DVLA at the moment, I medically surrendered my driving license about 5 years ago because I wasn't driving and to be honest I was finding the Medical Section a major pain to deal with. My circumstances have changed and despite being on Insulin now I need to...

I think I am going to have to really cut out the carbs totally , though I will seriously miss rice :( but anything is better than this as the hypergylcemia is killing me and the dry eye I have at the moment just will not go away.

I have had pretty bad problems with Hyperglycaemia ever since I was diagnosed 2 years ago, constant med changes etc that left me feeling **** and worse until I finally bit the bullet about 3 months ago and switched to Insulin injections (Basal Bolus) of Levemir and Novo Rapid and quite frankly I...

Minor point but can anyone answer the original question?

Without wanting to get into an argument its Not a book I have heard of or read before, but might now you mention it. I was thinking that when the needle goes through your skin it can potentially pick up bacteria from the surface of the skin and then on the next uses deposit it in your finger.

@Ottermoon, :shock: have you never heard of sterility and bacteria? I got told to swap the lancet needle every week without fail by the Diabetes Nurse practitioner. He did mention something at the time about the needles being better and if they had been around when he was a kid he might have...

Could anyone answer a quick question re: Lancet needles as I was talking to one of my friends husbands last night who is a type 1 diabetic and he asked me what lancet needles I was using and was a bit appalled when I said the the ones that came with the Freestyle meter and I need to ask for some...

Has anyone else had problems with Glicazide, the diabetes nurse practitioner put me on it about 4 weeks ago initially because the dose of metformin I was on wasn't controlling my blood sugar and told me to take 80mg twice a day which she increased about 2 weeks ago to 160mg twice a day in...

Thanks for the advice and links I will have a read through it all and post any questions I may have later, just pi**ed I found out yesterday, because I have my parents down for the weekend because I live by the coast, the temperature is though the roof and I feel hotter still because of the high...

I was diagnosed as type 2 diabetic about 5 weeks ago and prescribed 500mg Metformin twice a day and that was it as thanks to "short staffing" I had to wait a month for an appointment to see the diabetes nurse at my GP and when I arrived at the appointment she was off sick and another nurse stood...
