Shield type 1 diabetics during covid19
To shield all type 1 diabetics and give them priority to the covid19 vacancies
Type 1 diabetics are 3 times more likely to die from covid19 due to a comprising of the immune system and the risk of high blood sugar complications once infected.
All type 1 diabetics should have the option to be shielded and be placed higher up the list of those eligible for covid19 vacancies

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
There's already a petition about this issue. We cannot accept a new petition when we already have one about a very similar issue.
You are more likely to get action on this issue if you sign and share a single petition.
You may wish to sign this petition calling for a similar action: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/322581
Decisions about who is clinically extremely vulnerable, and therefore subject to the Government's guidance, is a clinical decision, not a decision for the Government or House of Commons.
We could accept a petition calling for people with diabetes to be given priority access to Covid-19 vaccines.
