will someone explain why insurance should be high for someone with any type of diabieties??...as yep it is a reportable condition...should reported by the doctor not the person that has it but just as long as you look afater your diet whats the difference...one thing you would have is a restriction on your licence allowing you to drive up to 3.5 tones,as for being visually imparied makes no difference if you have one fully functioning eye you can drive...i used to work with an enginner who only had one eye...lost the other one in a car accident :y

Because the risks of having an accident are higher TAM if diabetic control is not maintain ALL the time and mistakes can occur in that area. 

However, insurance companies seem to be fine about insuring those so suffering, such as I, providing the DVLA is happy to still grant a licence, even a restricted one :y :y

Well this is only my opinion.

Disabled or not, if you think that they are a danger to other road users and they need reporting then do so, but only if it's on your conscience about someone getting hurt in an accident and you wouldn't be keen on it happening, though not as leverage to get back at him.

By all means tell the police / dvla as they may not know, but glad of the information if the driver is driving outside their conditions of their licence.

If you find out he shouldn't be, you could tell the shops Head Office about the situation and remind them that it's their responsibility that the shop staff work within the law and if the 'driver' was involved in an accident, the shop would also be subject to the law for not taking action.  I'm sure the manager would also get part of the blame, if they do know, but choosing to ignore it.

Or

As others have said, simply write it off as a bad experience and each of them will get their comeuppance in time.  Just put it out of your mind and enjoy the time together with your partner.

Just x2 choices really; 1 deal with it by informing those that need to know, 2. forget it and move on.

Only Type 2 (maturity onset) Diabetics can conrol their condition via diet, Type1 are Insulin dependant & more susceptible to a Hypo as their blood sugar levels are more erratic

well that is why blood monitors are given out free to every diabieties sufferer..you dont just keel over you do have a warning that you are about to go hypo...i agree whilst trying to get blood sugers down there would be a restriction on your license but once medication is sorted there is no reason not to give a license...oh and diet is important for type 1 and 2 :y

There is a bit more too that TAM.  In fact you can unless you are very lucky and can quickly get hold of some Dextrose or simply a load of Coca Cola / chocolate, etc. 

I, and other Type 2 diabetics I know have had a number of hypos, even though we do everything to avoid them.  You have your readings, eat your set meals, and take your insulin dose.  Most days no problem, but then suddenly you find yourself out and about and getting very hot, then shaking, with the world drifting away from you..............!!   Thank goodness it has always happened to me when going around shops, where what I need to bring me back is all around me.  I have grabbed whole bars of chocolate off supermarket shelves before now and munched into them!! :o :o :o  Paying later of course!

Usually I have Dextrose in my handbag for such emergencies, but sometimes plans go wrong......wrong place.....wrong handbag......wrong time, and that is when you can panic! ::) ::) ::) ;)

The chap who is the subject of this thread apparently has serious diabetes, and may, although I am not sure, already have lost the sight in his eye, with the right, good, eye "weak" due to the disease being at an advanced state.  Diabetes in everyone can never "get better", it usually gets worse as you age.  Eyes, all the main organs of the body, eyes and limbs can all suffer severe damage from the desease. :( :( 

Once more, I just hopel the DVLA are fully aware of his condition and are happy for him to drive.   ;)
