[QUOTE="martynlloydkelly, post: 373158, member: 67343"] Hello everyone, That is quite possibly one of the most ridiculous and unclear questions I have ever, ever heard. Its almost as though they're seeking to ban you from driving for having diabetes! I've got family who have had serious dealing with the media so your warning is well taken, the focus is on the petition, the health editor for the Liverpool Echo who I spoke to today was very interested with regards to that side of things. Many thanks, really do appreciate it. Every signature is another step forward to overturning this craziness for all diabetics. My consultant is getting in touch with them tomorrow but as I say, even if my decision is overturned, I'm not stopping there. As far as I'm concerned I'm in this for the long-haul now and I'm fighting for every diabetic who has been unfairly treated due to this legislation. I know that sounds very grandiose but that's honestly what I feel like at the moment. Very, very much appreciated. You're right, apologies for this, I was completely unaware of the sitauation regarding type 2 diabetics when I originally created the petition. In my defence though, I didn't think the DVLA would be THAT harsh with respect to all diabetics. I thought it might only be the type 1's who were being subjected to such lunacy! Best, - Martyn [/QUOTE]
