Hi, this may have been answered before and I apologise if it has, I'm new to this. I was diagnosed in August, at the time they couldn't tell me if I was T1 or 2, this has been confirmed last week now as T2 currently with insulin, if my figures stay at the level I have gotten then down to then consultant says he will take me off insulin in 6 months. I advised both insurance and Dvla immediately. Just about to renew my car insurance and I'm not sure if I tick medical license with conditions - 3 years or medical license - no conditions. Sounds like I'm crazy I know but my insurance company gave me conflicting advice when I originally told them in August, first advising that I tick with conditions then advising that I tick no conditions. Just looking for new quotes and want to make sure I get it right and am covered properly. Thanks for any advice in advance.

Welcome to the forum @Hilliden
I think it might be helpful for you to contact the Diabetes UK helpline (9-6 Mon-Fri) to see if they have any helpful pointers.
It may also be helpful to speak to your Dr or Consultant who mentioned the possibility of coming off insulin, as they would be involved in assessing your fitness to drive.
Good luck and let us know how you get on 🙂
