[QUOTE="Cazmia, post: 420143, member: 68768"] [b]Re: Have you had problems with the DVLA since being diagnose[/b] My mum is a Type 1 Diabetic, diagnosed at 17 years of age (her 17th birthday in fact) and EVERY time she applied for a provisional license during the 80's, they always denied her this citing her diabetes as being a risk. I always wondered and still do, why they refused my mums license (even when she was well controlled, with no hypo's) but yet granted a license to a young lady at our local diabetic group, who would hypo at the drop of a hat walking down the street. Conversely, the DVLA were not too concerned about my grans T2 diabetes, and were more concerned when she was diagnosed with Angina that it would make her unsafe to drive. [/QUOTE]
