[QUOTE="tigger, post: 149242, member: 11023"] Hi Lorna, I actually agreed with your comment about making it harder to get a license and the wretched dvla makes it hard enough to do this already - 5 months of form filling for the last one I got!!!!! However, donnelly'sdog is obviously taking a very responsible attitude to learning from this episode and frankly being diabetic doesn't mean you have to be absolutely perfect in every way. It's a right pain to live with and obviously problematic with driving but how many "normal" people do you think there are who have driven while on drugs, alcohol or holding a mobile phone? And how many of those are repeat offenders? It's unfortunate that the dvla have an easier thing to get a handle on with us than the rest of the driving world but that's life I'm afraid. Everyone makes mistakes and it's what you learn from them that's important. Like my husband who left the fridge ajar for the 4th time this year this morning and reacted badly when I informed him that if he wanted to kill me it would be simpler to push me under the next train rather than going to the effort to destabilise all my insulin. Any tips for getting him to learn to close a fridge door properly? [/QUOTE]
