[QUOTE="britishpub, post: 2044304, member: 175573"] The information relating to medical conditions and your driving licence is very clear, and easily found on the DVLA website [URL]https://www.gov.uk/driving-medical-conditions[/URL] There is a page dedicated to Diabetes. The rules for driving with Diabetes for Insulin users were actually eased last year (except for professional drivers), and the criteria for what type of Hypo event that needs to be reported narrowed. [URL]https://www.gov.uk/diabetes-driving[/URL] They have very helpful leaflets covering Diabetes, and what needs to be reported and how you should deal with driving when you have diabetes treated with Insulin and/or other medication, or by diet alone. [URL]https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/information-for-drivers-with-diabetes[/URL] The eysesight rules for driving are also very clear, and can be found here [URL]https://www.gov.uk/driving-eyesight-rules[/URL] If you have a notifiable medical condition, (including the need to wear glasses to achieve the minimum eyesight standards if you have a Class 2 licence) you must inform DVLA (which can be done online) and you can be fined for not doing so. The requirement to notify DVLA is not new, and has been the case for many years. [/QUOTE]
