My 11yr old Son has type1 and controls it by him taking FIVE insulin injections/day and my Father has type2 and controls it by tablets (Metaformin) every other day or so.
Some might use tablets weekly for type2 but would say that’s rare.[emoji52]

You only inject insulin NOT anything else AFAIA.

Don’t personally know anyone who does, but looks like there’s at least a couple of meds for type 2 diabeties (not type 1) which work this way. Dulaglutide (Trulicity) and Exenatide (Bydureon) are both weekly injections if that helps at all. Be interesting to know how they’d affect medicals as the form asks for non-pill based meds.
well i think there interested if its insulin but the ones you mention arnt insulin
For PSV and HGV according to this Gov UK page, you even need to fill in a form if you’re taking non-insulin medications although this doesn’t seem to apply for cars / bikes. However from the little I’ve read, the injections are for milder versions of diabetes so it’s probably more a paper filling and backside covering exercise.
thvs for that they no im type 2 but i was wondering if they need to no i change medication to no insulin injections

I’m diabetic, I inject insulin a few times a day, Dvla are fully aware so I have to renew my license every year ( class one ) they also send me to see a consultant specialist in diabetes, who checks my blood testing meter for any hypo’s ( low blood sugar) he checks back 3 months, he asks a few questions, has a general chat with me then sends s report to Dvla, if you look after yourself properly you should have no problems, as long as you tell Dvla everything about your condition because they do write to your doctor as well,
I’m a Monday to Friday tramper and I manage my diabetes pretty well.
Hope this helps.
