Message: <blockquote data-quote="Oldvatr" data-source="post: 2332624" data-attributes="member: 196898">Yes, I think that is what I said.  As a DVLA user myself, and taking Gliclazide which is the one oral med specifically mentioned by DVLA, and having had a history of medical emergencies regarding CVD, as well as having laser eye surgery in both eyes,  I had to do the usual licence surrender at age 70. and re apply with a DIAB1 form etc.  I was not required to register with DVLA previously since I was not an insulin user or an HGV or PSV driver, so it took a while for DVLA to untangle my history.  Meanwhile, I was given a temporary permit to continue driving.  In time and an eye test later, I received my 3-year licence as all over 70's are required to do. Are you Class II driving?  Are you Hypo aware?  Have you had any hypo's that required assistance (i.e medical intervention)</blockquote>
