Group 2 Licence Rejected

Interestingly I was called into the office by an operations manager enquiring & insistent if I wanted to put in for a group 2 license if only to “shunt” trucks around the yard? He looked non-plussed when I mentioned type one. Though I was testing multiple times a day prior to any concept of a sensor. I was sorry to inform him this was a non starter & thanked him for the oportunity.
 
It is less than two years since I finally got CGM after a four year battle. The first sensor was impressively accurate but the second one failed after five days just as I went to check before going in for a slit-lamp examination. Since then I have had a number of premature failures and wildly inaccurate sensors. Personally I do not think they are reliable (and they seem to be getting worse) enough for DVLA approval. Hopefully they will improve as BG meters did. The original Ames Glucometer was a great advance on (rubbish) urine tests but could be quite inaccurate!
