Yes mate, you keep going unless they write and tell you not to. Let's hope it doesn't come to that,.

Hi @phil3462

Yes, providing your Health Care Professionals have passed you fit to do so; if you're managing your diabetes with insulin then you'll receive a medically restricted licence that (currently) lasts for 3 years. (DVLA do send out renewal forms and medical questionnaires in good time.)

There's one BIG issue though: if you have two or more hypos in a year that require the help of someone to bring you back to reality then you can lose your licence - including if said hypos occur during sleep.

There are other threads and an epetition regarding this.
