Insulin
Hi there,

I would really appreciate some advice. Does a diabetic who isn't insulin dependent, still need to report to the DVLA that they are diabetic? Could we lose our license because we are diabetic? Feeling totally out of my depth here!

Thanks in advance :)

yeh you have to inform them and your insurance company did not make any difference to the cost of my policy
 
Hi,
You are asking about a non insulin dependant diabetic. Is your query for someone else as your profile say that you use insulin?

Diabetes treated by any other tablets or non-insulin injections
Car or motorcycle licence
You don’t need to tell DVLA. For further information read leaflet INF188/2.
Diabetes treated by insulin
Car or motorcycle licence
You must tell DVLA. Fill in form DIAB1 and send it to DVLA. The address is on the form.

Read ‘A guide to filling in your DIAB1 medical form’ to get help with filling in DIAB1.

Thank you. I was asking for a friend (non insulin user) and myself (insulin user)
