[QUOTE="TriciaWs, post: 2266627, member: 475901"] I decided to shield because although my t2 is well controlled, it won't be if I get sick, plus I have other health conditions. I have asthma (moderate), mild heart disease, etc. and will be 70 in a few months - none of which on their own make me extremely vulnerable, but in combination? I don't know how much all of that raises my risk, and my GP just did the simple checklist and said I'm not extremely vulnerable. One research group was developing a tool that would provide the risk for multiple conditions but until then I decided to go for the safest option - only possible because I am semi-retired, work from home, and the voluntary work I do was all school related so stopped.
