    Cod liver oil supplements.

    I have been taking 1000mg cod liver oil supplement daily for years and found very beneficial. Usually get from supermarket but out of stock. Looked online but noticed not recommended for diabetics. Anyone know why? Thankyou.

    Shielding letter

    Hi I took a screen shot. How things change in 3 weeks. I would like to believe it's because they have suddenly discovered we are less at risk. I feel however that it would not be economically viable if all of those who deemed vulnerable as in receipt of flu jabs self isolated,or the structure...

    COVID-19 can survive on soles for up to five days

    I'm certainly not an expert but sure that only problem would be if somebody stroked your dog who was infected and then you stroked your dog. Not sure about dog paws though. To be honest theres probably on so much you can do and stay sane! Ultimately in this situation guess it also comes down to...

    Type 1 Getting food whilst quarantinig

    I'm so pleased it worked out for you[emoji4]. I logged on to web site earlier today to inform them in vulnerable group and website link on overload. I also saw people on twitter saying phone lines either engaged or hanging on for 40 minutes and cut off. I live on my own and dont drive so always...

    Hi Dave. There are quite a few threads but very few specific answers. Government advice is strict social distancing and strongly advise to work from home! I work in a care home. I have chosen to self isolate and work seem fine with it,had already prepared a form for it! Whether I get SSP I dont...

    Statin tablets ?

    Hi,for many years I was on a high dose of stains. During that time I had quite painful leg cramps which stopped when I stopped the stains! A different GP put me on a lower dose of a different brand. A few months in the pains returned! A few years ago I was travelling to USA and was concerned for...

    Concerns about my job

    Good morning Brandoon. My heart goes out to you. The only certain thing is that we are not included on the most protected list. Already I've read comments from people who have asthma wondering what to do. My friend and her partner are probably a good example. He is a type 2 diabetic and had a...

    Concerns about my job

    Hi Brandoon, I'm pretty sure this week the government has said no one can be evicted due to the Coronavirus. In reality the situation is so extraordinary there will be millions in the same situation. Shelter could be a good source of information. Yes,children are lovely little carriers...

    Concerns about my job

    I think the 80% wages are for companies that are at risk of closing. Although near the end of the financial year do you have any annual leave left? If you have a mortgage there are the three month mortgage breaks etc. You may be entitled to Universal Credit,although maybe not! Citizens Advice...

    Concerns about my job

    I must admit I have a feeling specific advice may be a long time coming! The general advice I have seen is that diabetics are one of top risk groups. I have read examples of people being sent home from work with understanding bosses. Then there are those that are told they have to go to work...

    Concerns about my job

    I think this is a problem many of us are facing. The government strongly advise us to work from home. My son in law works in IT so can easily work from home. I work in a care home and home working and even basic social distancing not a realistic option. I have chosen to self isolate rather than...

    Coronavirus and work

    Hi ,thankyou. I think the problem at the moment is that we are in a unique situation where there are no answers and just have to hope for best! On the positive side it's probably better emotionally to be at work ,although I'm quite happy at home[emoji4]. Listening to social care minister...

    Coronavirus and work

    I'm still not sure what to make of it. The day before I was due into work there was a small piece in online paper saying home was closed to visitors. It stated there was no confirmed case of coronavirus but then also added they didnt want to risk any spread! Immediately phoned manager who...
