I think that too many people with diabetes don't know that guidelines exist, that they are created through a rigorous and unbiased process, and that they greatly influence the dissemination of best clinical practice, coverage for therapies, expenditures, health outcomes, and quality of life.

The DVLA is mentioned as one of the reasons why you may need to test more frequently (both patient reps made sure of this!). <br /><br />It is important to look at DVLA guidance very carefully, not least because there have been some small changes to the wording on the new forms since it first came out.
