[QUOTE="catherinecherub, post: 970927"] I am bumping this post up as there needs to be some clarity in the advice being offered with regard to the OPs questions.. Two articles that help you understand your obligations [USER=205311]@Shep1001[/USER] [URL]https://www.diabetes.org.uk/Guide-to-diabetes/Living_with_diabetes/Driving/[/URL] [URL]https://www.diabetes.org.uk/Guide-to-diabetes/Living_with_diabetes/Driving/[/URL] As Type2s are lucky if they get test strips, especially if they only use Metformin, then to suggest that an Insurance Company has the authority to tell these drivers when to test makes me wonder if the Insurance Company mentioned in another post is going to provide these? I would also shop around if your Insurance is upping your premiums. There are plenty of forum members who drive and who take Metformin and I hope they will reply. [/QUOTE]
