[QUOTE="donnellysdogs, post: 145999, member: 17713"] Hi everyone Earlier today, I drove on to a grass verge and stopped my car just before a wire and post. Apparently according to the off duty fireman behind me I had been driving erratically. The off duty fireman stopped his car and came over to me in mine. He called an ambulance. The paramedic came. I was still conscious, but had had a hypo. The paramedic dealt with me and gave me two glocose gels, by which time the police arrived. They told me they would inform the dvla, and I was not allowed to drive my car home. They would take me and my dogs home, and I could leave the car parked up where it was for somebody later to collect it. I am now at home, and I haven't a clue whether I can still drive or not, or whether the police informing the dvla has stopped me from being allowed to drive immediately. Has anybody else ever been in this position? Do I notify the dvla that i had a hypo whilst driving, and that I had pulled over to the side of the road on a grass verge, but that somebody else had to help me? Can I continue to drive, as I am not sure? Will I lose my licence? I have been diabetic 25 years type 1 and never had an episode like today ever, and I don't know where I stand. Can anybody help me?
