[QUOTE="Oldvatr, post: 1813054, member: 196898"] It can be used against you if you cannot produce the meter evidence after an incident, and may invalidate your insurance if you drive without following the guidelines, I am re-applying for my licence [being an oldfarty], and I have had to sign a formal doc from DVLA that I am hypo aware, and that I agree to test myself according to the guidelines. Since I already do that anyway, it is no sweat. As a T2D not using insulin you do not need to inform DVLA, and they do not currently to my knowledge mandate adherence on an existing licence. However it seems that licence renewal at 70 leads to medical assessment being carried out and then they may ask for your compliance. If you have hypo's where you need assistance (eg paramedic or hospital) then you need to inform DVLA. You are allowed one such event in a year, but two strikes and you are out. That is why I went cautiously into LCHF. [/QUOTE]
