does anybody on here drive a lgv with this?? I am insulin dependant and yesterday I was told by my consultant I meet the criteria to re apply for my 7.5t licence which I held previously. however is this the largest vehicle I can drive or would I be able to apply to drive larger vehicles than this once I have this licence ■■?

really hope you never get this mate ive had this ten years in august and its horrible and life changing.
Glynnbob I have until recently had to jump through the DVLA hoops but due to making some life style changes I no longer need insulin. Not much good for you but don’t give up as it really gives you a smile when that licence drops through the letter box. 
no personal reference intended there…only a bit of lightheartedness…same as in most humour

nice one
I am type 2 diabetic but am insulin dependent. My licence was revoked but I fought and had it re-instated. There are a lot of hoops to jump through but if you go about it the right way it should be fine.
- Make sure that you have 3 complete months meter readings immediately prior to seeing the DVLA consultant - (although technically the requirement for 3 months readings is not in legislation and is only advice from the government panel)
- You should have no readings under 4
- Make sure that you know the answers to the questions that the consultant will ask by heart - they are the same questions that are on the form your GP has to fill in, eg how often you should test etc
- Be aware that they class night time hypos the same as day time ones
If your readings are above 4, no hypos, you have 3 months worth and you answer the questions they have no basis to refuse the licence.
If you already have a lgv licence and DVLA have revoked it then they will pay for both the GP and consultants examination.
Be prepared to travel to see the DVLA consultant though as there are only 55 in the whole country.
