Hello! I have just listened to a discussion on the Jeremy Vine show on Radio 2 about those extra people in England who are being asked to shield. Apparently many women who have had gestational diabetes at any point in the last 10 years or so have now received a letter saying they need to shield. I have type 2, not gestational (never been pregnant sadly) but I am confused why gestational diabetes in the past means shielding, whereas as a type 2 it doesn't?? I am confused and just wondered if anyone on here had any more information about this?
