[QUOTE="birchy66, post: 2267101, member: 85138"] I asked my GP on 20th April if I can go out for exercise. I hadn’t received a letter from the Gov/NHS in March as I assume that at that time I was considered to be moderately clinically vulnerable and not extremely vulnerable. Following my call my GP or rather his Receptionist told me I should be shielding and within a few minutes the letter was emailed to me. Since then I have been staying at home and only going for a short walk a couple of times. Walking is very important to me and I miss it very much. However my control is very good and always has been since diagnosis with Type 1 seven years ago. I have had two coronary stents fitted and also have a pacemaker so guess this is why I was sent the letter. Also I am 73 yrs old so can’t really argue although I feel fit and healthy. Just hope a vaccine is found soon, wishful thinking I know. [/QUOTE]
