[QUOTE="Doctorwhobbc, post: 2370560, member: 504426"] Hi everyone, Can I please encourage you all to report your side effects to the yellow card scheme (link should be on the pamphlet you received at the vaccination centre). My wife (Type 1) had the AZ vaccine yesterday and has had extreme difficulty with her blood sugar. After about 4 hours she got a fever and ice pick headache. From yesterday afternoon her blood sugars have been 20+ even after doing 5-6X her normal amount of insulin. Things seem to be getting better now, but she's still running high. We've reported the side effects via the yellow card scheme. Hopefully that will enable information to be sent to authorities and patients ahead of time to help reduce the severity of these effects in future. E.g it would be good for some information about this to be signposted to diabetics when getting vaccinated. It goes without saying she would still get the vaccine again and would encourage anyone to get the vaccine when offered. [/QUOTE]
