[QUOTE="Oldvatr, post: 1390529, member: 196898"] Extract from the latest DVLA guidance to drivers [U][B]ON INSULIN[/B][/U] who need to inform DVLA and undergo assessment for fitness to drive [I]<<at the examination, the consultant will need to see the preceding three months continuous blood sugar/glucose readings available on a blood sugar/glucose meter with memory function and covering a three month period during which you were on insulin>>[/I] This was a recent update (10 Aug 2016) and mainly affects ID Group 2 drivers undergoing annual reassessment, but can apply to others if they need reassessment following a severe hypo event or laser eye treatment, It also can apply after age 70 when re-applying for licences.
