    I have diabetes and the provisinal application has a space for ticking about medical conditions so there's no problem there.

    However, it then asks about being on medications that could cause you to become a danger to others.
    I don't really know what to put there. The only medication I'm on in that regard is insulin but that really isn't answerable in a yes/no format in my opinion.
    I'm just wondering can anyone advise me what to put down on the form. I've been advised to tick no. But that was quickly followed by: "sure, you're just asking for trouble otherwise".

    I know that diabetics can drive and apart from some slight inflation on their insurance premiums they encounter no difficulties.

    So, anyone know what I should tick?

    In my opinion that would be for those who are on medication that may cause drowsiness

    You can tick 'no' here. You will be required to send a Medical certificate anyway with you application and your doctor can indicate the nature of your medication and it's possible side effects.

    Thanks Wishbone Ash.
    I've already been to the doctor and had the form filled up. I'm good for that although he told me he's not allowed to tick the "not need review" section. Which is understandable.
    Thanks again.
