[QUOTE="Max68, post: 2255395, member: 521172"] Funny how there seems to be such a difference in opinion in the medical fraternity. My HBA1C in December was 58, which is what 9.3%? plus I'm on BP meds and no shielding letter. Got a sick note from GP saying to work at home but as per my thread I'm being reduced to SSP as others with underlying conditions are going back to work at school. I guess if I had a shielding letter work wouldn't have been able to SSP me. Unfortunately Government guidelines of "just to social distance" and a mere sick note won't wash with employers especially if they claim you can social distance at work. What I can't understand is these tables you constantly see stating the top three risk factors are "allegedly" cardiovascular disease, hypertension and diabetes and yet neither diabetes or hypertension are on the shielding list. Probably down to the fact that's probably what 30% of the population - at least! [/QUOTE]
