diabetic?

[CharlieT 32]

as the chap says he has had low sugar "TWO YEARS AGO".and has a driving licence( check every 4 years i believe).

i can vouch for the lad being fit as a fiddle( he may collapse after a days beating when he is home,but who doesn't?).

any joy with the feo or doctor today bud??

 

Does not alter the fact that the OP's doctor has provided a medical report to his forces Chief Medical Officer which has resulted in the CMO reporting his concerns to the Firearms licensing Manager.

 

For this very reason I suggested the OP had a word with both his GP and his Firearms Licensing Manager to see if there was a way forward.

 

Remember that it is his own GP's medical report that is the cause of the refusal to grant. God forbid that, if requested, the GP furnish a similar report to the DVLA.

I,ve got to see my GP, can't see him untill next week, after that it will be the diabetic consultant, then it will be a call to my fao to explain everything is ok and he can check with my doctor, as i've said before i,ve been fine for years, I did have a few incidents but that was a while ago, it's always been well controlled, i'm a plumber by trade so if I lost my driving license it would be game over, thats why i've had to keep such a close eye on it,

 

thanks for replies, i'll keep you posted, atb slipper

Very interesting post. I just wanted to ask some question about diabetes and FAC when spotted this post. I applied for coterminous grant and police is still deceiding (after 20 weeks...) what to do with my application. I am type 1 and found out only about a couple of months ago. Sugar levels are well under control and I never had any problems. I have had hypos, but I do not go unconscious etc just start shievering, sweating and so on. I know when have low sugar levels and can deal with it. I always have the same symptoms. They consulted my GP and DVLA. DVLA requested 3-years driver license renewal, that is what they always do if someone's on insulin. Not sure about the outcome... Will see...

went to see the doctor today, he said everything is fine and told me to re apply in a few weeks, which was a bit of a suprise, my doctors report is now updated so fingers crossed
