Message: <blockquote data-quote="Spiker" data-source="post: 518921" data-attributes="member: 102150">My hospital consultant was very clear that he would only advise DVLA to remove someone's licence based on two actual severe hypos (or one behind the wheel). Or actual hypo unawareness. Not on any prospective basis or risk basis that the person might have severe hypos or might develop hypo unawareness. He also made it clear he wasn't in the business of providing the DVLA with any information other than his own medical view on whether the patient was safe to drive. If you are worried that your consultant or GP will not take the same strict view with DVLA, see if my hospital will do the report for you. If you actually have severe hypos or actually lose hypo awareness then that's a different matter. But there is no need to lose your licence over "risk of" those things based on a generalisation about HBa1c - however accurate that generalisation might be about the overall insulin using diabetic population.
