[QUOTE="UK T1, post: 2270515, member: 503751"] It is so difficult. Ultimately I thought GPs give out letters but can add patients not on the official guidance. My consultant has advised type 1s under his control to shield and my GP said this was appropriate advice and I got my letter this week. It doesn't change my behaviour but means I can continue to work from home. I don't quite understand why I have the letter compared to others, as I am under 40, no other conditions, HbA1c between 47-52 over the years so by all accounts low risk. But my consultant had advised it so I assume that influenced my GP, and my job. [/QUOTE]
