[QUOTE="JRT, post: 2290883, member: 520947"] I had a feeling this might be the case. Union didnt leap on it when I suggested it. I think it's a case of having to gather a lot of solid evidence to prove it's happening. In my case its proved tiring and stressful so stepped away for a week. Good article in Guardian about how those who are shielded are basically been thrown to the wolves when they cease shielding tomorrow. Still no mention of diabetes, or other high risk people although as far as guidelines go we are now sort of put with shielders, social distance unless with own household return to work if covid safe. I know there are calls for furlough scheme to be extended so shielding dont have to go back to work. I'm happy to be shot down in flames but other than a petition I'm not quite sure what Diabetes UK are doing to help. There helpline was supportive which was good. In the article about shielders the charities that supported shielders were vocal. I know diabetics are a large and diverse group in terms of risk and needs but I still feel we are quite an invisible group. I may be wrong and i know there are those of you who have tremendously supportive employers and healthcare professionals. Unfortunately it's not consistent. I'm finding it increasingly tiresome to have to fight for what some get automatically for no reason than luck! [/QUOTE]
