I don't think you need to self-isolate just based on you being type 2, but other reasons might depend on what part of the world you're in, or if anyone around you has tested positive or whatnot. I'm guessing you don't need to, unless there's some special context.

unless you or any of your family are showing symptoms then no you don't need to self isolate, if there are any symptoms in ANY of you then you all must self isolate for 14 days, social distancing is what they are advising so stay away from crowded places such as pubs, cinema's etc, limit your use of public transport etc xx

I too am up in Scotland, I was talking to my pharmacist this morning (unrelated issue) and was told just to keep an eye on the news for further information/updates xx
