Guest, we'd love to know what you think about the forum! Take the Diabetes Forum Survey 2025 »

Message: <blockquote data-quote="Ocho8" data-source="post: 649212" data-attributes="member: 55209">Why does the DVLA link all hypo's with the ability to drive? If you have a severe hypo whilst you are asleep during the day or in the night when you are in bed, why should this count towards the DVLA question regarding severe hypo's? It's like asking Usain Bolt to run the olympics blindfolded and still expecting him to win! Is there a process, web site oe even an MP who we can get this changed? Severe Hypo's whilst you are awake are tottally different to those when you are asleep!!! This should be part of the DVLA qusetionaire, as the ability to know if you are going into a hypo is not possible whilst you are sleeping! THERE IS NO CONNECTION BETWEEN A SEVERE HYPO WHILST YOU ARE ASLEEP AND THE ABILITY TO DRIVE! This is another EU law inforced on us with no logical answer medically where the connection betweem sleep and driving. Now.... Lets get this ludicrous unfound link between hypo's whilst you are asleep and the ability to drive overturned! Any info regarding changing the law / DVLA would be appreciated!  Thanks (We do need to get this changed as its unfair).</blockquote>
