[QUOTE="Diabeticliberty, post: 1598992"] One thing we can get straight is that if DVLA are made aware that you are driving with blood sugars lower than 5.5mmols then they will revoke your driving license. Your GP and DSN will now tell tell DVLA if you are driving with blood sugars lower than 5.5mmols. You are obliged in law not to drive without a driving license and if you do not comply with DVLA requirements then unfortunately your driving license will be revoked. If DVLA feel that there is any ambiguity regarding your own particular circumstances then they will ask you to provide BLOOD glucose test results for 90 consecutive days and if you are unable or willing to do so then they will in every likelihood revoke your driving license. DVLA will not currently accept results from your Freestyle Libre regardless of how 'perfect' you feel your Freestyle Libre is. If you are driving and God forbid have an accident at the wheel with low blood sugars and have not been fingerprick testing this is entirely your personal choice. You will however lose your driving license. [/QUOTE]
