[QUOTE="noblehead, post: 626559, member: 11028"] The high readings won't matter, the DVLA don't seem too concerned with high bg levels and are more concerned with low bg (Hypoglycaemia). It's rather odd as high bg can effect vision due to it making the lens of the eyes swell which in turn leads to blurry vision. Just send your readings off as requested and see what they say, as said before the fact that you've not had a severe hypo and still have good hypo-awareness symptoms will go a long way with the medical dept of the DVLA. I've not had to send my readings off before but they did carry out some checks when I recently renewed my licence, perhaps they do this when someone applies for a provisional........I don't know as I had already passed my test before getting diabetes.
