[QUOTE="Trishhh, post: 2665080, member: 583424"] I agree. It's not only the licence, though. He actually never came to terms with having diabetes. The possibility of losing his licence is just the last thing for him to be fed up. Just a few minutes ago he threw away his glucose monitor because his BG was too low. He never acted like this before, which tells me he's more than upset and scares me as he seems on the verge of even stop taking insulin. He won't say a thing about his eye condition to his family, and mine is in our home country. He clearly needs counselling but won't look for it. I can't even look for it for myself because talking to my GP is like providing evidence against myself. Once I told them I had pain in my back and, when I went to register my degree in this country, the GP told me I wasn't fit to work because of my back pain and so they couldn't provide a health statement! Anyway, I'm sorry to be bothering you guys with my unpleasant stories. I'm just feeling alone and stuck in this situation. I'm currently trying to book an appointment with a specialist in retinopathy somewhere else so he might feel more at peace having a second opinion from a private physician. [/QUOTE]
