Diabetes UK has fought in vain for 5 years to persuade the DVLA to lift its ban on giving a license to diabetics who have severe hypoglycaemia when they are asleep. The European Commission has now asked the DVLA to lift the ban. Diabetes UK is calling on the DVLA to act on the European Commission decision to make sure that legislative processes are in place when the rule changes on or before 1 January 2018.
