The contour Bayer are very good I use one and av to av mine checked by DVLA independant consultant another thing that the DVLA av bought in dint seem to trust our own consultantsNew boy to the block. My licence (c class) was revoked in December, also in the post the same day a kit to test for bowel cancer arrived....welcome to the sixties. Applied for renewal in May 2014, eventually advised by DVLA not to drive Mini-Bus in August (fine to drive own car) which made things at work difficult. Reason for December decision was due to the input from independent report from a medical ( in September) which found I missed THREE readings, close to Bank Holiday weekend when I was not driving and not working. I had gone to bed late,.... late and got up well, late. Recorded readings on old meter... very high Work are being supportive, offering re-deployment and seen/ spoken to by works health team. Been a good Christmas with that hanging over the head. The works doctors are making an appeal. Tomorrow(Wednesday) crunch day as head of HR and a few managers meet with me to decide my fate. My nurse is very Supportive, passing on words of wisdom. My meter, if I call the firm maker, supply a lead enabling to connect meter to computer to download readings which go back well over a year. This information may already be on the forum, so forgive my ignorance. Just thought a deserved a little rant Regards Alan
I use a 'i-Sens' which has been okay. Advised to change due to the cost of the strips for the Accu-Chek Aviva only have a tub left of them. Tend to stock pile meds, to a certain degree. Pharmacist started giving me extra strips over a year ago as Doctors wanted more readings taken. Just to be sure weekdays I take my blood four times a day and at least twice a day weekends.The contour Bayer are very good I use one and av to av mine checked by DVLA independant consultant another thing that the DVLA av bought in dint seem to trust our own consultants

Hi I had the same problem they revoked my this time last year , pleased to say that they have returned it this week , my situation was exactly the same as yoursHi, I was wondering if anyone has had the same problem. I have had my Group 2 licence revoked but am fighting the decision because all the criteria they assess you on relates to hypoglycaemia and I do not have low numbers as I am hyper. The only reason that put down for revoking was they said I didn't have 3 months readings which was completely untrue. I contested the decision in ~August and am still waiting. I've lost 12 months work because of this but they don't care.
Good news tha pleased for youHi I had the same problem they revoked my this time last year , pleased to say that they have returned it this week , my situation was exactly the same as yours
