Hi newbie here

I’ve never heard of these rules , how would I know what’s expected of me ? every day I feel 100% in myself no lows no highs . Diabetes is a side affect of other meds . Something that I was just given one more tablet to take daily .
I will of course now look into things a little deeper , but if the medical professionals don’t tell me , why would I check .

It’s your responsibility to check the DVLA guidance on whether a condition is notifiable or not for any medical condition you are diagnosed with, not just diabetes. When you got your licence you will have told the DVLA your medical conditions, so it’s just keeping that up to date in the same way you’d tell them as soon as you move house.

It is reasonable to assume your insulin treatment will last longer than 3 months unless there’s a specific reason to know it won’t eg you have gestational diabetes and the baby is due in 2 months.

The onus is on the driver to keep him/herself up to date with the law - end of story!

In fact, that applies to the whole law. It really should not be a surprise to discover we have broken it whether it's murdering someone Welsh in Chester or breaking the speed limit.
