Underlyning health conditions
Being a type 1 diabetic and asthmatic who is using a steroid inhaler twice daily. I feel like we should be in the shielding category.
There is more than enough evidence to prove that diabetics are more likely to pick up infections and have even more complications due to this.
Diabetes was removed from 'extremely vulnerable' to 'higher risk' this means that we only have to social distance which is not really enough in my option.
Of course I dont want to be in a position to sheild but for the sake of possibly getting ketoacidosis due to infection. With unclear guidelines anywhere as to why we were demoted category.
I feel that anyone who receives the annual ful jag from there gp should be getting a letter with clear guidance and not just.
I know not everyone should need to sheild of that get the fly jab however being diabetic and asthmatic I feel like we should be shielding as it's not safe
Why the contribution is important
To protect my own health as I know what happens anytime I never get a common cold never mind the drastic effects COVID-19 would have on a diabetic person
