[QUOTE="Energize, post: 1804175, member: 28960"] I've just heard that the Minutes for the April meeting of the Medical Advisory Panel re Driving with Diabetes is now available. This meeting was dedicated to discussing devices that measure glucose in interstitial fluid, ie Libre, Dexcom etc. The Minutes can be read here - [URL]https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/714455/24-april-2018-extraordinary-diabetes-panel-meeting.pdf[/URL] One point I feel is rather ambigious is whether DVLA will only accept these devices if they are prescribed, or whether self-funded systems will also be accepted. See the wording Page 3, first para - " ... only glucose monitoring systems which have been approved and recommended for the management of diabetes by their treating clinicians can be used for the purposes of driving. Systems which do not measure either blood or interstitial fluid glucose cannot be used for glucose monitoring in the context of driving." I'm interested to learn your opinions re this last 'ambigious' point ;) Thanks [/QUOTE]
