[QUOTE="petertremelling, post: 362368, member: 54769"] Hi, Guys! You don't need to tell DVLA if your diabetes is controlled by diet. BUT if you start on medication you MUST tell DVLA. The usual respomse (if you don't have hypos and are treated with tablets only) is that your licence will continue to age 70, as long as if your condition worsens that you write to them. HOWEVER, if you start on treatment with insulin, again you must tell them in writing, and permit them to consult your doctor. The usual response is that you get a 3 year licence, and that a reminder will be sent before expiry. Don't under any circumstance consider not telling them. If you were to be involved in an accident which could be in any way due to your diabetes then apart from any legal action which DVLA might take you would be prosecuted for not having insurance and all that might mean.
