[QUOTE="London36_, post: 1436872, member: 235117"] Thanks all for the advice. I'm still waiting for a call back. I'm hoping/thinking (?) it is actually an error stating 'no' I don't drive (when I do) rather than 'no- shouldn't drive'. It isn't clear. And it's just unfortunately placed underneath the whole hypo awareness chart thing I mentioned. I fully support the DVLA in wanting to stop drivers who have little /no awareness of hypos driving. It's not safe. But I'm anxious about a culture in which clinicians might want to cover their backs and patients, then in turn, never mention hypos because of a fear of being prejudiced against! Hypos are part of being diabetic. I test before driving and as such never have had a hypo whilst driving. [/QUOTE]
