    Are there openings related to transportation? Like dispatcher or something? If not, I guess you will have to make a career change.

    Are you sure they won't let you drive anymore, even if your doc vouches for you that you are in control? Some professions will allow you to keep your job conditionally provided the doc writes a letter for you. But if not, contact your local unemployment office. They often have retraining programs for people in your position, where they can set you up with free or low-cost training for a different career such as something in the medical industry.

    Unless you are on insulin or are having regular hypoglycaemic attacks you shouldn't have a problem driving. You will need to inform the DVLA though.
