[QUOTE="Jaylee, post: 2536307, member: 101136"] Hi again [USER=558706]@Kayden-joe[/USER] , Firstly, grab whatever eye appointments for screening & wot not by the horns. Monitoring & early detection is key. If your not having to have injections or laser treatment on anything eye related & you meet the required DVLA eyesight requirement with or without corrective vision (glasses.) they don’t need to know anything else. (Other than the hypo aware stuff.) Yeah, I was 25 once. I get it. Lol, that was 29 years ago.. I still appreciate all these appointments are a disruptive pain in the neck.. You could try accessing NHS funding for a Libre2. You would need to speak with your endo? (You would still need to check calibration with your meter.) You are more likely to be granted funding for a Libre than a Dexy. OK, this is where it gets interesting. You can get the “CGM experience” on your smartphone with one of two trusted third party apps (Diabox or xDrip) with customisable alarms & at a glance updates every 5 mins on the home or Lock Screen? (There is a whole community using this stuff. It could help you.) I got a cradle by my A pillar in the van. I use Diabox on my device. There is a representation of my current BG on my dashboard along with the usual OEM stuff you get in a vehicle. Best wishes. [/QUOTE]
