looooby...that is quite interesting but only applies to insulin dependent diabetics and others that have had 2 hypo attacks requiring hospitalization.

It does seem rather drastic, but it is quite amazing how many Insulin dependent diabetics have uncontrolled diabetes due to "boozing" and complete disregard for dieting.......mainly in the young adults and believe me it is quite frightening as they know the risks, but "couldn't care less" These people are costing the NHS millions in drugs hospitalization and treating the consequences of uncontrolled diabetes.

I suppose this edict is based upon statistics surrounding road traffic accidents.

Thanks looby, will watch this with interest.
