[QUOTE="Minnie_19, post: 691257, member: 123429"] I agree that many perhaps do not realise how it may affect them in the future and although I appreciate it probably won't change my own circumstances I would like to hope that in raise awareness and gaining signatures I could make a difference to other people. Having gone through this, It has been really difficult and has made me feel very isolated and discriminated against. At times I have felt so angry that I have been treated this way and that the efforts I go to to keep my diabetes so well controlled was for nothing. I obviously realises this isn't the case and it will stop complications from occurring in the future but it is so frustrating. I have spoken to Diabetes UK closely throughout this process. They have been helpful in letting me know who to contact to raise awareness of the campaign. However they are unable to support the campaign until they hear back from the outcome of the EU meeting with REFIT which was held on the 20th November in Brussels. If the response is negative I have been informed that they plan to campaign and raise awareness in the new year. Unfortunately they told me that they would not be able to help promote my campaign at present or in the new year which was very disappointing. Therefore I am relaying on posting on forums, Facebook, twitter, [url="http://www.actionfordiabeticdrivers.org.uk"]www.actionfordiabeticdrivers.org.uk[/url] and media/poster coverage to get the word out there. It is happening slowly and we continue to gain signatures, but support from diabetes uk would have helped considerably I feel. Thank you for supporting the campaign an ms sharing your own experiences. It really is appreciate and will hopefully help step in the right direction towards changing the directives which are discriminating diabetic who are stable and controlled drivers. [/QUOTE]
