[QUOTE="Micks Grill, post: 1399800, member: 93669"] S Sorry but I can not agree - twisting an ankle is an accident , a spur of the moment by chance happening. Diabetes is a long term / life long medical condition that is often sporadic in symptom and severity -it is unpredictable to a degree (as are the secondary affects of levels going high or low). The DVLA have these guidelines for exactly this reason - as these incidences "could" occur often - along the line a precedent was looked at somewhere and agreed before the guidelines were written. It can happen to many, often. This is why you get free NHS prescriptions , this is why the HMRC will allow an appeal on a late Tax Return submission if appealed on health grounds for a diabetic - it is accepted that this thing that hounds us all often causes health complications beyond our control. Sorry, but your argument is like saying "people shouldn't drive because cars have been known to have accidents and people can die" - it happens (like a twisted ankle) but it's not likely, half expected or often - if the obvious self safety measures are applied ("do not deliberately walk awkwardly, and look where you are going if you want to avoid prevent a sprained ankle" And as pointed out stellson didn't "hobble back to the car" - they were already in it. Challenge it - all the way! [SIZE=4][B][URL='http://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/members/stellson.351296/'][/URL][/B][/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
