Hi, @MGALL you caught me before I drop off to sleep. Sorry I don’t have the answer, but if you ever need to contact a specific member put @ immediately before their user name, so that they get an alert. I will do that now for @LooperCat , and hope she gets back to you.Hi pipp
I’m finding this all very informative and reassuring, I’m sorry I never joined sooner it great. I’m looking for something, anything to present to my GP stating the guidance for HCP’s state that >79 HbA1c would put you in the shielding category (as loopercat has posted earlier) and other members have advised. My GP knows nothing about this and had advised to social distance (work on ward in a hospital, so almost impossible) my current HbA1c (2wks ago) was 85 and had an episode of Ketoacidosis at the beginning of the year.
a thought has occurred to me, though, that maybe would give you some reassurance. That is, perhaps you need to speak with your line manager, and / or HR management in work, as people I know of who work in hospitals , who have health conditions have had risk assessments, and if necessary been moved to areas more able to distance themselves. Some have been sent home, leave , if they are considered vulnerable.
Hope you can get some reassurance. Though I think your GP ought to have more knowledge and understanding of your situation.
