[QUOTE="Elc1112, post: 290945, member: 32988"] I've akways heard back pretty quickly when I've had to renew my license (within 4 weeks anyway). If you still haven't heard I'd give them a call and see what the hold up is. I haven't had to reapply since the rule changes came in - not looking forward to the next application. My hypo awareness is very good so I'm hoping there won't be any other problems. It's not just the DVLA who are clamping down, insurance companies seen to be more aware of diabetes than ever before. I was in a small crash just before christmas. Nothing serious, but the police were called and insurance companies got involved. Even though the accident wasn't my fault (woman behind me was talking on her mobile and drove into the back of my car) I was asked by both the police and insurance company when I last tested my sugar levels. The police even asked to see my meter to verify this. It had the wrong date and time on it as I have no idea how to change it, but they still accepted it. I drive a lot for work and it can be a real pain having to test all the time, but I'd definitely advise people to do it going forwards! Em [/QUOTE]
