- I do not have diabetes
My OH has Diabetes 2 but I don't. We are early 50s and double jabbed.
Our current pandemic procedures include getting food online and when it arrives, wearing a mask, keeping the delivery guy at a distance and washing the items. When we go out, we don’t wear masks outside but keep a distance from others and always wear a mask if we shop inside and carry hand gel which we regularly apply. We haven’t had takeaways or eating in cafes etc.
We do this because my understanding is that diabetics are at greater risk from serious Covid infection so I do all I can to keep my OH safe.
I want to know if we are going too far. We want to start getting takeaways and eating indoors. Also the washing of food packages is time consuming.
I know it is all about personal risk assessment but I would like to know what others with diabetes are doing at this stage of the pandemic. It is not easy getting definitive advice and I guess the lack of a single answer on most things has been the lesson of the pandemic. This forum is great for giving people a central place to discuss approaches so I would really like to hear what others are doing.
Thanks for your views and help.
