Message: <blockquote data-quote="Brambly Hedge" data-source="post: 2702018" data-attributes="member: 579883">Hi everyone, I wonder if someone can help me.I am type 2 and started on insulin a couple of years ago but haven't been driving during this time due to traveling. I came back last year and rang the DVLA December last year to get advice on what i had to do regarding notifying them that I was now on insulin . They advised that I had to fill a form in and that I could keep my driving license and that I was still ok to drive unless my doctor told me not to.Because I was leaving to travel to Asia for a few months literally the next day,  I left it at that as I wasn't going to be driving. I have just returned home and found a couple of letters from the DVLA informing me that  that because I hadn't filled in a DIAB1 form in within a fortnight of my telephone call that they have now revoked my license and that I now need to apply for a DB1?  if i want to get my license back.  I genuinely thought I was just ringing them for advice in December and fully intended to fill in the form when I got back as I knew that I wouldn't be driving. My diabetes is well controlled and i have no issues in this regard. Does anyone have any advice. Ie is it possible to  call someone to see if I can get it re-invoked whilst my DIAB1 / D1 is processed. If there is no other option can anyone give me a steer as to how long the process is.Thanks for any help.</blockquote>
