I am type 2 and at the moment my HbA1c is higher than normal as my mother died just before Christmas, which obviously raised my stress levels.
Almost 5 years ago, I had Bilateral Pulmonary Embolisms, but this is not classed as a vulnerability, though I easily get breathless, according to my DN.
My first question is regarding grandchildren following school closures. My son is asking if I can help with childcare for my 3 year old grandson?
According to some government and NHS guidelines, being diabetic makes you vulnerable and you should be self isolating, but is this all diabetics?
Should I be self isolating or social distancing?
I think that the advice is open to interpretation.
