[QUOTE="ElenaP, post: 2389810, member: 67557"] I am happy to report that it is now four days since my second AstaZeneca jab, but I have not experienced the same side effects that I did with my first vaccination. Because I was able to anticipate high blood glucose readings, I upped my basal rate by 40%, and the same with boluses. Other effects have been that I was exhausted for couple of days, and had slight nausea for a day. I took paracetamol for the first two days, and this has prevented temperature. I do not mind if I have to keep insulin ratios at this higher level a bit longer, because I’m used to doing that whenever I have suffered from infections (often), as long as blood glucose stays within acceptable levels. To summarise, for me, the second jab was easier than the first. [/QUOTE]
