Well just spoke to my GP in a last effort to get some advice but nope they can't do anything as they along with everyone else is going by the wishy washy government guidelines. Said she would write a letter to my employer confirming I have diabetes but they already know that so pretty useless. She didn't know anything really about masks bar saying the FFP3 is the one they use but it won't be comfortable wearing it all day and said a visor is a good idea if it makes you feel happier, but admitted that if no-one else wears a mask whilst they may offer a little protection they are designed to protect others rather than you!
Could sign me off with stress but it would only be for two weeks and sympathised with my position but said there is nothing they can do.
Oh well, always wanted to be a Guinee pig!
What was your last HbA1c out of interest?
Have you taken any measures to improve your metabolic health whilst not at work?
I imagine your poor son in law is awaiting whatever decision Boris plans to flip flop to next and don't envy heads and managers this alongside the normal back to school stress which I know all teachers suffer from after a long break (both parents were teachers)!You are stressed Max. My grandchildren go back to school on Thursday, the day after tomorrow, and my son-in-law’s been putting the measures in place for a secondary school. I’ve not asked my son-in-law what the measures are that he’s using as I don’t want to butt into his downtime. I just know that the jokes to relieve the stress are increasing.

But you want young children to wear them all day?After an hour that mask became claustrophobic so not looking forward to 8 hours in one!
No, he has stressed, in every post of his, that he want to be able to wear one.But you want young children to wear them all day?

Gas masks - was there this sort of discussion and opposition to children wear and carrying gas masks?
At this point in time the effects of post covid illness, even in children, is not known.
The stance seems to be that if you don't die, you are ok. Despite numerous reports indicating otherwise for many.
Still, those who don't take it seriously enough haven't changed their views, and I don't expect them to - yet.
I think that has more to do with the effects of Brexit falling on him, and running away from the responsibility, than long covid-19.Interesting rumour doing the rounds that Boris has Long Covid and will be gone within 6 months. He has furiously denied it so it's probably true!!

Where have you seen this?And Bingo!!!! Masks in school.
This government has more changes of direction than spaghetti junction.
I suppose this U-turn had nothing to do with the school heads taking matters into their own hands.

Best of luck with the return and i hope you find a visor you can use as they are more humane to you and less de-humanising.Think that's half my problem. Worked from home since March so the only time I was indoors anywhere else but home was today at a hearing aid appointment. After an hour that mask became claustrophobic so not looking forward to 8 hours in one!
Boris's handling in a crisis makes Theresa May look like Churchill and his decisions have made employers, GP's and Unions pretty useless for any support at all.
Note that it is being pushed out to head teachers in areas where there isn't an allegedly high case load.
Actually only mandatory in corridors of places in lockdown. Not in classrooms. Otherwise down to the head teacher and no longer advised against. So wish washy and vague as to be expected. Adjacent schools could well have different policies in the same risk levels.And Bingo!!!! Masks in school.
