Hi everyone,
I recently saw my consultant and asked to go onto insulin as the metformin was creating chaos with my bowels and making life incredibly difficult.
I started insulin, informed the dvla and now have had a letter with another DIAB1 form to complete. I am terrified I will lose my liscence despite never having had a hypo and my eyes causing no issue. I need my car for work so as you can imagine I am worried sick!
I am unsure if the dvla always send out another form with a scary letter stating "if you already hold a driving licence, we advise you to speak to you doctor or specialist about driving while we are completing our enquiries". I am also thinking I may have filled in the wrong form originally.
Does anyone have any advice? I am basically looking for reassurance that this is normal practice or at least not unusual!
I am starting to wish I just carried on with the metformin!
