Group 2 (LGV/PCV) drivers with diabetes mellitus who switch from tablets to insulin


These drivers are required to notify DVLA when they start insulin and stop driving Group 2 vehicles. They will require 3 months of blood glucose readings on insulin before they can be assessed for fitness to drive a Group 2 vehicle. The blood glucose readings must be available on a glucose meter with a memory function to measure and record blood glucose levels. They are required to test at least twice daily and at times relevant to driving.
