Guest, we'd love to know what you think about the forum! Take the Diabetes Forum Survey 2025 »

Message: <blockquote data-quote="oldgreymare" data-source="post: 2388833" data-attributes="member: 20373">Oops, sorry - only saw this post after I posted the replies above.So in mitigation I went through the latest UK yellow card  data covering vaccine side effects from 9 Dec 20 to 28 Mar 21 to see what has been reported regarding BG levels post vaccination:As of 28 March 14.6 million doses of Pfizer vaccine including about 3.7 million second doses had been administered.As of 28 March 19.5 million doses of AZ vaccine primarily first dose had been administered.Average report rate of ANY side effect for the covid vaccines is 3-6 reports per 1,000 vaccinations.For the Pfizer vaccine approximately 80 reports have been lodged to date of BG disturbances (mostly BG rises). This is equivalent to a reported incidence of 0.000548% per overall doses administered.For the AZ vaccine approximately 200 reports have been lodged to date of BG disturbances (mostly BG rises). This is equivalent to a reported incidence of 0.000103% per overall doses administered.That this result is astonishingly small is not surprising given a tiny number of the population monitor their BG levels, and so far the yellow card analytics are not mapped to underlying health states (such as diabetes). But if anyone is feeling pro active please do log any BG effects post vaccination via the yellow card site. This may help future understanding of how to control BGs when having vaccinations.<a href="https://coronavirus-yellowcard.mhra.gov.uk/" target="_blank">https://coronavirus-yellowcard.mhra.gov.uk/</a></blockquote>
