Hi there,
Are you injecting insulin yet? If not, you’re not required to inform the DVLA until you are.
All the best

If you are taking any tablets, like Gliclazide that can cause hypos you do have to inform DVLA.
I am on insulin and you get a 3 year licence but big issue you have to test every 2 hours driving and must be over 5.5 or take action to raise to 5.5 or over and wait 45 minutes.
I have mentioned in another thread that a diabetic lost their licence when police checked their monitor! The police can insist they see your monitor.
When I spoke to insurance company there was no extra charges as they said it is monitored by the DVLA and police. You sign a contract with DVLA, I read the small print and it does say you must test constantly.
Also on replaced licence I can no longer drive a 7.5 ton lorry! So can restrict any driving job, I know a guy who lost his job as a coach driver.
Do check all insurance and other legal aspects, you know how companies will use any 'small print' statement against you!
