[QUOTE="Grant_Vicat, post: 2115709, member: 388932"] I passed my test as a Type 1 in 1988. Every 3 years I have to fill out complicated medical questionnaires from DVLA. I quickly learnt to keep every report from Hospital/Surgery/and Diabetic Eye Screening tests. I also kept (and still do!) every piece of correspondence from the DVLA. I also photocopy everything I send to them. It is now 6 years since I had a pancreas/kidney transplant, but the DVLA computers do not understand. They keep sending me the forms in spite of the fact that I have sent letters from 3 clinics stating that I no longer receive treatment for Type 1 or any other form of diabetes! Only this morning they acknowledged that I had applied for a licence renewal, but they would need to get in touch with my kidney transplant man first. Thank God I have all the info in one place! I wish you happy driving and agree with others who have said that good control is paramount. Regardless of the DVLA you want to stay alive! [/QUOTE]
