Flu jab

[Trinkwasser]

Why are we so slow in this country to act 'at the beginning' of these things. If I was in charge, I'd quarantine those arriving back from Mexico, even if it had to be in aircraft hangars or similar. Any right-minded person would not mind this if it saves a possible deathly pandemic. I wouldn't mind.

Ah but you're missing the point! There is enough Taniflu for half the population so the politicians and civil servants and other parasites will all survive. The rest of us, well consider the results on the unemployment numbers and the savings on the NHS of having a mass of dead people they no longer need to treat. New BMWs all round for the accountants and actuaries . . .

I'm interested... what's the nature of the risk to a diabetic for Flu anyway?

Is the risk larger or smaller depending on how well controlled you are?

Hi Gov.

Take a look here for information about the risks for a Diabetic when Colds and Flu etc are around.

Hello matey yeah sorry not been around too much just got distracted with other stuff, you know how it is!

In times of crisis though, there's always Diabetes UK

I've got my next HBA1C this AM too, I have a feeling it might've gone up a bit from my 5.8% last time... fingers crossed :?
