A member asked:
Im so scared of the coronavirus with my diabetes, that im wondering if my wife should not work in her gp practice? its putting us both at major risk isnt it?

Good question: Awareness and precautions are important, but your wife plays a valuable role for those who have contracted the disease. She will be at higher risk than the general population and we are seeing HCPs contracting Covid-19. There is no one correct answer to this question because situations vary. Best option is for your wife to discuss this with her employer and take precautions. Good luck!

I have type 1 diabetes and to put it simply, I am living in an anxious state right now, worrying constantly about the coronavirus. My wife is a practice nurse in a GP surgery, and I worry constantly about the risk for us both. I am so scared.
Is it ok for my wife to still continue to work as a nurse in her GP practice, as I have type 1 diabetes and the virus puts me at risk?
My wife is a nurse in a GP surgery, and we are both concerned about her risk of catching coronavirus, especially as I have type 1 diabetes too. Is she at more risk, as she is seeing so many patients every day?
I have type 1 diabetes and am terrified of getting coronavirus. My wife is a practice nurse, so it seems more likely to me that I will get it. If I do, I could end up severely ill?
They are talking about those with diabetes being kept in isolation for 12 weeks, here in the UK. My concern is that my wife is a nurse, so how can she protect me and not bring the coronavirus home?? She has no choice but to go in every day.
