I’m searching for this topic as I’m sure it comes up a lot but I can’t find it.

So, can someone please give to me the latest re driving using Dexcom CGM as a meter?

If you have to fingerprick, do you have to still test every 2 hours or just before you leave first time? I calibrate my Dexcom every morning.

Thank you,
 
At present the DVLA do not recognise anything other than fingerprick results for driving. So yes, you will have to continue testing prior to driving and also every 2 hours for longer journeys.

Edit: You may wish to take a look at this thread posted earlier as it looks like DVLA discussed this subject in April and are at least considering changes in future.
