[QUOTE="martynlloydkelly, post: 376077, member: 67343"] Thank you very much, for both signing and and for your well wishes towards everybody who may suffer as a result of the directive and its interpretation. Wow, so the reapplications process is pretty much as long as I thought it was. Sounds like you're one of the lucky ones, my consultant has written letters for a number of patients whom this has happened too but his words fell on deaf ears. Fantastic that you managed to get your licence back though, congratulations! In actuality, the guidelines are not [i]that[/i] new. The EU directive which led to the DVLA's decision was put forward in 2011 however, even though various diabetic associations opposed it there wasn't much public aweareness created. Unfortunately this meant that the directive and its interpretations stuck. Thank you so very much for signing and for sharing your experiences, it helps more than you may think! There is indeed a Facebook page for the group, you can find it at [url=http://www.facebook.com/diabetesdvla]www.facebook.com/diabetesdvla[/url] I hope that helps! Its best to invite everyone regardless of location, in fact having support from people in different countries would strengthen the argument as those who it will be delivered to see that the argument is backed up ubiquitously. Its not just a marginal group of people backing the idea then, ergo it carries more weight. Best, - Martyn [/QUOTE]
