[QUOTE="Daibell, post: 463377, member: 21149"] Wow, it must be very difficult for you. When you are first put onto insulin in hospital based on other posters it can be a bit hit and miss as they have a fairly rigid approach sometimes which can result in hypos. The better news is that now you are home and managing yourself in conjunction with the diabetic nurse at the surgery you should be able to balance yourself more easily. Are you carb-counting yet or taking a fixed rapid insulin with meals? From what you say it sounds like the DVLA have revoked your licence due to the hypos in hospital; very annoying. Everyone taking insulin has to go onto a 3-year licence. If your licence hasn't been revoked then you will need to fill in a form to get the 3-year licence but unfortunately you have to state whether you have had any hypos (more than 2?). I suspect you have already started the process but discuss with the diabetic nurse if you haven't. Let us know if we can help with any specific questions and good luck with getting the licence back.
