The last two weeks of cycling to work have been the making off me, I feeling a lot fitter and I'm losing weight - who knows they might take me of the insulin at my next review 🙂 f

Any cyclist out there? I'm using a mountain bike for work, I'm of the opinion a lighter weight bike might be better for my needs in terms of speed.

I can't have eight year old beating me :D
 
Yipee!

Just got confirmation this morning my licence is being returned :D

Just want to thank the DVLA for their friendly and professional telephone service.

Do I have to let my insurance company know that my licence was revoked by mistake and NOT due to any medical condition?

P.S sugar is staying within the 4 to 5 level since cycling. :D
 
Bump:

I'm still wondering when it comes to renewing my car insurance Do I have to let my insurance company know that my licence was revoked by mistake and NOT due to any medical condition?

Can anyone answer Hancock's question? I don't drive so have no experience. I wouldn't have imagined it would be necessary, given it was a mistake, but there again it might be better just to tell them since you hadn't done anything wrong. If it was me I would be inclined to tell them.

Great to hear that you've got the licence back! 🙂

Thanks for the reply........🙂
 
Great news about the license ..havent a clue re insurance however maybe a copy letter from dvla admitting mistake maybe advisable ...in the meantime if you enjoying the cycling carry on ..saves a fortune on petrol !
 
I thought I let you know whats been happening since, I got my licence back.

I am still cycling to work each day 3 miles each way with the odd exception and my sugar level is normally below 6 (today was 3.7) I have manage to lose about 6 kilos in weight. I am was hoping to lose a bit more then that.


The only thing at the moment the doctors keep sending me for blood test each month for FBC & Differential, 4 or 5 so far. :(

You never know The London to Brighton cycle ride next year :D

Cheers! 🙂
 
Good news Hancock! Well done on the weight loss, and you must be getting so much fitter! 🙂
 
Well done on the weight loss. I would be concerned with the 3.7 reading which is technically a hypo and you certainly shouldn't drive at that level. I'm waiting for my bike to come back from repair (stuck hydraulic cylinder).

I didn't feel any of the effects, just the sweat of cycling.
 
Still cycling to work! my average reading is around 5.7 after cyclng home from work.

Sunday was a first for me I managed to out race my brother on the bikes around Nonsuch Park - he couldn't believe it. :D
