Hi I'm a new user of the forum and just looking for a some advice. I'm type 2 and I'm on 4 x 500mg of metformin I'm due to go back to work tomorrow and I just wanted to know if this self isolation applies to me or is it just type 1
No one here can tell you what to do, but as I understand it, self-isolation applies to those with symptoms or on very high risk groups. These are defined by the UK Government as follows:
people who have received an organ transplant and remain on ongoing immunosuppression medication
people with cancer who are undergoing active chemotherapy or radiotherapy
people with cancers of the blood or bone marrow such as leukaemia who are at any stage of treatment
people with severe chest conditions such as cystic fibrosis or severe asthma (requiring hospital admissions or courses of steroid tablets)
people with severe diseases of body systems, such as severe kidney disease (dialysis)
