Guest, we'd love to know what you think about the forum! Take the Diabetes Forum Survey 2025 »

Message: <blockquote data-quote="Amrit1712" data-source="post: 2368328" data-attributes="member: 149679">My risk group was 37/100 but I've been told to shield.I found that the threshold recommended for shielding is>0.5% for absolute risk>10 for relative riskMy absolute risk was 0.0014% as I'm only 21 but my relative risk compared to people the same age and sex was 14 so even though I have a very low absolute risk I've still been told to shield so think they're been over cautious and take it with a pinch of salt.Ultimately I think the risk group has little relevance its more to do with your risk results. I also found that location is a key factor and so is ethnicity. Both factors for me raised my relative risk by 4 each and near enough doubled my relative risk compared to if my only risk factor was t1 diabetes.Hope this helps!
