DVLA regs for insulin treated diabetes

[katmcd]

Hi,

I have tried accessing the DVLA guidance 'A guide to insulin treated diabetes and driving' on the .gov website but the link is missing/broken (https://www.gov.uk/guidance/current...-guidance-for-professionals-conditions-d-to-f)

The DVLA won't give me a straight answer and have told me to direct any questions regarding medical fitness to drive to my GP. My GP can't advise me, as the link they want to follow is the same and doesn't work. They certainly will not risk their registration by just guessing an answer to my question and giving me potentially incorrect information.

How on earth am I meant to get the most up to date DVLA information to make sure I'm doing everything correctly? I received a paper leaflet when I first notified them, but I am sure they must update things from time to time. The website says all drivers must follow the information, but how can I if it is not there?

Anyone got a recent copy they have a (working) link to?

Thanks very much,

Kat

Could you try this one? https://www.gov.uk/government/publi...ss-to-drive-a-guide-for-medical-professionals

It contains the DIABINF leaflet in Appendix D. Is there any specific information you're looking for or just the guide and rules?

I typed in driving and diabetes on their website and got some info but perhaps not what you need.

Fantastic. That's all I wanted but the link I managed to get to (in just Appendix D) didn't work. Shame the DVLA weren't more helpful. But that's why this forum is so great
Thank you!

Link given by db89 seems straightforward enough - just click on the link for non-medical professionals or just google INF 188/2. All info you need is there.
