[QUOTE="Malcolm1, post: 691242, member: 115398"] A similar thing happened in the mid to late nineties with HGV drivers, some drivers who’d had type 1and were on insulin and type 2 on tablets for years without ever having a hypo suddenly had their licence revoked many of which were owner drivers so lost their livelihood and had to sell their vehicles, I was diagnosed type 2 in 1996 just as I was taking my HGV training and even though I was diet controlled I was limited to a class 2 HGV licence and could not do my class 1, though I do believe the dvla changed their ruling again a few years later to allow people who were on tablets to drive class 2 HGV, I have signed and shared the petition though I do think that Diabetes Uk could do more by getting the members here on the site to sign as you say you need 100,000 names and there are 174,914 people who get the news letter why has this not been highlighted on every news letter sent out or are am I the only one on the list over the minimum age to drive, the way things are going Diabetics will become like epileptics and not even be allowed to apply for a driving licence, THIS ISSUE MAY NOT EFFECT YOU NOW BUT IT MAY IN THE FUTURE DO SOMTHING NOW BEFORE IT’S TO LATE [/QUOTE]
