[QUOTE="searley, post: 2469475, member: 31377"] Rh being different to insulin treated diabetes will likely have different rules.. however any illness that can cause you to pass out will have to be declared to the DVLA in relation to goods vehicles and they will give guidance on where they want to be on the BG.. but having 3 months of data will be a good start in relation to keeping the license... but RH being much more rare may cause issues The issue is RH will fall under the General blanket of hypoglycemia and there is guidance on hypoglycemia on the DVLA website but nothing specific to RH... so until you can get specific guidance from them on RH you'd have to follow general blanket rules. Goods vehicles always add more complications than driving cars.. even have to declare BP meds even if you don't really have high bp And this is because BP meds could make you pass out.... So getting the right guidance from DVLA is important as undeclared illnesses have upto a £1000 fine.. but having an accident with an undeclared illness could result in much worse Even nhs detail here [URL]https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/low-blood-sugar-hypoglycaemia/[/URL] state: [/QUOTE]
