This article at diabetes.co.uk says that the DVLA is bringing forward amendments to the rules about diabetics and driving.
The original changes were brought about by an EC directive, and basically say that if someone can prove their fitness to drive then they can gain their licence. They will need to meet certain requirements and have annual independent medical checks. They will also have to have at least a three-month historical glucose level record held on a meter which has a memory function before they can apply.
The regulations are specifically targeted to those wanting to drive group 2 vehicles (HGVs and PSVs), but the article reports that they could impact on assessment criteria for Group 1 vehicles (ordinary cars and motorcycles).
