Guest, we'd love to know what you think about the forum! Take the Diabetes Forum Survey 2025 »

Message: <blockquote data-quote="Dyadya_Maykl" data-source="post: 753959" data-attributes="member: 85974">I do not believe this is EU legislation.  I lived in Holland for several years, and even though diabetic was given a valid driving licence - through the Town Hall - valid until I reached 70.  I had two hypos, and was under the local hospital, and did not get a letter revoking my driving licence. However, I am concerned about the petitions.  I personally believe that someone who has hypos is a danger on the road.  I do not think it is ethical for people to sign petitions unless they are fully appraised of the full medical history of that person.  It is up to the diabetic team to raise the matter with the DVLC.If the DVLC takes a strong reading regarding the European directive, then that is a matter to raise with your local MP.I have always found NHS professionals caring, and professional, and I am sorry to see posts that denigrate and slander their good work.</blockquote>
