[QUOTE="Deleted Account, post: 1705861"] [USER=469167]@martincp[/USER] do you manage tour diabetes with medication which will directly lower your BG to the level you may suffer from hypos such as insulin? If so, the rules from the DVLA (I do not know about DVSA) are very clear for a standard car driving license: I would expect a HGV license to be at least as strict. You need to test your BG at least every 2 hours. If you do not do so, you are driving illegally and are not insured should you have an accident. As others have mentioned, this does not include CGM ( such as Dexcom) or Flash monitors (such as Libre) as the readings are delayed and not considered as accurate as finger pricks. If you have informed the DVLA of your condition, this is explained by the covering letter for your license reallocation (which most people with diabetes treated by insulin must do every 3 years) [/QUOTE]
