[QUOTE="In Response, post: 2379918, member: 527103"] As you say a "tiny" amount of sucrose. Given the vaccine dose is something like 0.3ml and the sucrose is a tint part of that, the impact of it on blood sugars will be negligible. I agree with the other responses that a rise of blood sugars is likely to be our livers releasing glucose to provide energy to build the anti-bodies just as it can with a sickness. Like [USER=101136]@Jaylee[/USER], my blood sugars went low for about 48 hours after my jab. I reacted with hypo treatment and reduced my basal. The important thing is to do extra testing an dknow how to react to changes in blood suagr level which may arise out of teh jab. It is not something to put us off having it. And on that note, I find comments like "the second shot [U][B]WILL[/B][/U] be worse" should be avoided as it may put people off. Sure it could be worse but all the people I know who have had two jab have found the affect of the second is no different to the first. I found this interesting on reactions: [URL]https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-56375307[/URL] [/QUOTE]
