Back in my day all they wanted to know intially was am I hypo aware. Are my eyes good.This was way back in 1986?The longest licence DVLA give on health grounds & fitness to drive is 3 years.. Pretty every 3 years since then I've been sent a DIAB1 form from DVLA to fill out & they check in with my health team. As long as I've not needed "third party help" with lows. (Ambulanced.) all good. Telling someone to "pass the jelly babies" doesn't count as needing "help." <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite2" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=";)" />You are required more recently on the form to sign that you will check bloods prior to getting behind the wheel & driving, then every two hours on the road... More recently reading from a Libre sensor are acceptable means of checking BG.I empathise that these forms can be daunting.  I'm no massive fan on filling them out myself.. I feel you may have been a little rash by just sending the licence back?Best wishes.</blockquote>
