I wondered if anyone could give me some advice please!
I am Type 1, and also in terms of Covid classified as clinically extremely vulnerable. I have had both my jabs. I understand that the jabs don't PREVENT you from getting it, but it means you won't get it seriously.
I just wonder that if I did get it, how badly would it affect my diabetes though?
We have planned to go to see our daughter and family that live in the North West in about a weeks time. They live in the hot spot area, or near enough, where the Indian variant is rife. Daughter has had one jab, son in law has been offered the jab but has no plans to have it! Plus he works in a garden centre with the public! I am so upset about it all because am I putting myself at risk if I go up there, or should I be ok? Should I do Covid tests, should he do tests? I so want to see them after 15 months of separation but clearly I don not want to put myself at risk either, or am I being over cautious, seeing as I have had the 2 jabs?.
What would you do if you were Type 1 AND clinically vulnerable?
