[QUOTE="DickM, post: 316683, member: 48006"] Very interested in this quote from your post @1.14am <quote> including having to pass a Diabetes test each year to retain my drivers license <quote> I have been a type 2 for 6 years now and the only thing I have ever had to do about my driving licence and my diabetes is to inform the DVLA that I am a type 2 and managing it on medication and diet. [color=#FF0000][b][size=7]If[/size] I ever[/b][/color] go onto insulin then I am duty bound to inform them and then I would be subject to much more restrictions but for now I will simply have to apply for a new licence when my present one expires (age related only) Like other my random a/m blood check is averaging at 5.9 BUT if I eat one thing that is not diabetes kind I end up the next day at 6.5 or so. I know I will never ever be 100% cured of diabetes but I do know that I am and will continue to do everything I can to maintain a healthy lifestyle so as to manage my diabetes in the best way possible for me and my life. You will notice that I have made the IF in my statement a very big IF as that is what it is as I intend to do all that is within my power to avoid it. [/QUOTE]
