[QUOTE="donnellysdogs, post: 340651, member: 17713"] As I understand it ... Any HCP can download any equipment you have to check your blood to ascertain that you are safe to drive... And yes this can be the last 3 months that would be in line with your hba1c. I have had discussions with medical answering people from dvla back a couple years and they basically told me... That if you say you recognise every hypo... You stand a chance to have ur licence revoked immediately... Because they expect diabetics on human insulin to have unrecognised hypos.... BUT... Not more than 1 a year....They would actually question whether you recognise any hypo... This comment was made to me before they even brought in these new EU LAWS... I know HCP's used to have a tick box form to complete, as I sat with my consultant whilst he completed mine... As I insisted on being there whilst he did it.. But this was due to an incident I experienced. I dont know what the forms are like now for hcp's. My licence was reviewed last year pre EU and the DVLA never wrote to gp or consultant. Owing to the incident I had, I am totally OTT on ensuring I recognise hypo's, never need help and ALWAYS can prove I test before I drive.. [/QUOTE]
