Hi Jimbo
welcome and sorry you have other health problems other than Type 2. Not sure I understand what he was referring to when he said didn't matter?

Sorry to hear about all your health problems.

My sister has a motability car too (she has had two hip replacements) and really relies on hers!

Are you referring to possible problems/restrictions regarding driving your car? I think these mainly apply to commercial drivers, and those (such as type 1s) who may suffer hypos at the wheel, so are not so likely to restrict you. If you clarify what you mean then someone will hopefully give you a clearer answer.

Hello and welcome to the forum, I hope you find it helpful:) Are you asking about the salesman's attitude or was he dismissive of your explanation ,or doesn't it matter what medical conditions you have regarding a Motability vehicle? With best wishes
