[QUOTE="GrantGam, post: 1535402, member: 295621"] Hello [USER=429646]@Charlie.M[/USER], welcome to the forum:) The best course of action is to be honest. Every T1 diabetic has hypos and it will not cause your license to be revoked. It's a different story if your hypo awareness is impaired or you have had more than one episode of hypogylcemia that has required external assistance to get you round again. 1.4 - Have you ever had an episode of low blood sugar (hypoglycaemia)? - almost definitely yes. 1.5 - Do you get warning symptoms of low blood sugar (hypoglycaemia)? - if you do, then the answer is yes. 1.6 - How many episodes of low blood sugar (hypoglycaemia) have you had in the last 12 months? - two or more is almost definitely the answer. Mild hypos by themselves do not make you ineligible to drive. The DVLA will be most concerned in your answer to section 1.7 "When having these episodes of low blood sugar, did you need help from another person?". It's important to be honest here also, but as I've said above - you will have issues with your licence if this has happened on more than one occasion in a 12 month period. [/QUOTE]
