I am about to fill out the DVLA form. One question I am unsure of answering.

Do I get warning signs of Hypoglycaemia (low blood sugar). I put yes as I get jittery hands. But My blood sugar is never below 5. My DSN agree's I get jittery because my body has been used to have high BG's.

So in theory I am not hypo. So am I right in saying I am on the form?.
 
Yes, you're absolutely right. The form is asking for your hypo awareness. You know when your blood sugar is dropping. Doesn't matter whether you're actually low enough to have a hypo, the essential point is that if your blood sugar drops to an unsafe level, you know it's happening before it becomes a problem.
 
Deus is 100% correct. They don't want to know at what level you have the warnings (unless of course it's significantly BELOW 4) - only that you have them, would recognise em for what they are and do summat about it, if you needed to.
