[QUOTE="searley, post: 2246233, member: 31377"] I had a long discussion with my diabetic consultant and covid formed part of it.. In short as a diabetic with no other conditions if you are reasonably well controlled you are classed as vulnerable so extra care with social distancing. Worse control ie hba1c above 79 or other serious conditions will put you in the extreme risk (12 week isolation). I have hba1c of 76 and high blood pressure and just classed as vulnerable. Don’t just trust what employers say as sometimes they just want you to work. Contact your gp either by phone or econsult if you have it and ask them to put you in a risk category. I did he said vulnerable so at least I had that to goto my employer with and things were put in place to reduce my risk and contact [/QUOTE]
