[QUOTE="copepod, post: 180341, member: 21372"] Here's the DVLA page with information about driving with diabetes and insulin, including forms to download. You will get back a 1, 2 or 3 year licence to drive cars or motorbikes, but nothing bigger eg HGV, PSV, minibuses, vans etc. You will need to either have a medical examination or a report written by your diabetes specialists - if you attend clinic at least once a year, you will (almost certainly) not need to make a special appointment for your driving licence renewal. There is no possibility of appeal nor going to court.
