In a very odd sense, I felt frightened but also safe.
Hannah loves her job as a specialist stroke nurse. It was the only career she ever wanted, and despite the concerns of her university lecturers she wasn't going to let her type 1 diabetes stop her achieving her goal. The coronavirus pandemic has made her think carefully about how she manages her condition, and what she can do to stay safe.
