informing dvla for first time

[geoffry]

Hi, I have been lads for 12 months, now just had insulin added. On the dvla form do I assume, as they can check, that I need to confirm I have had some hypos? I am v hypo aware, never needed assistance but cos of the nature of lada, my bms are often all over the place, hence now needing insulin. Also, is it worth putting a note in asking them to only get med info from the consultant not the gp (it looks like I have to put both down) as my gp misdiagnosed me a type 2, (at only 10 stone and underweight!), we had to push for hosp appt and since then has confirmed he didn't know what lads was.

geoffry ,
Tel them that you are on insulin, but as your hypos have been self treated, then they don't need to know them as this would only confuse them.

They only need to know if you had Assistance at anytime...nothing else...its upto your Diabetic Consultant if your fit enough to drive...if asked that question then the answer would be NO. regardless of your meter readings.
