[QUOTE="tim2000s, post: 1433597, member: 30007"] First up, [USER=235117]@London36_[/USER] get on the phone to your clinic and demand to speak to your consultant immediately. Based on the information you have provided above and this [URL]http://www.diabetes.co.uk/news/2016/mar/european-commission-will-ask-dvla-to-change-driving-laws-for-people-with-diabetes-94800107.html[/URL] I'd suggest that your consultant has acted incorrectly in that advice and has failed to listen to anything you have said. They also appear to not be up to date with the change to the rules that was introduced last year. The consultant really owed you an explanation of their rationale for making what is fundamentally a life changing decision. Further, it doesn't matter whether your renewal is due in 2018 or not. GPs are now allowed to directly contact the DVLA to inform them if they believe a patient is unfit to drive, so I'd get on the front foot and get this resolved asap. [/QUOTE]
