Message: <blockquote data-quote="IainTarr" data-source="post: 2520914" data-attributes="member: 556364">Perhaps saying "convinced the vaccine triggered my diabetes" was the wrong way of saying it? At the time of the vaccination the list of side effects was quite extensive and with the symptoms I developed I worried a lot especially as the Nurse was dismissive? I did have some basic understanding of diabetes and was also concerned as I have had episodes of acute pancreatitis in the past and was thinking that as the vaccine worked but triggering the bodies auto-immune system it had attacked my already weakened pancreas?I'm not sure what diagnostic test was done but was on Humulin until February 2022 when I was admitted for electrolyte imbalances and now I have Lantus and Novorapid. I initially stopped the Novarapid as despite taking the smallest recommended dose with my meals my readings 2 hours later would be lower than before. After 2 days of that I stopped the Lantus and my readings have improved and remain stable. I feel a lot better but will consult with my Diabetic Nurse next week whilst still testing and recording my blood glucose readings. My ketone readings are all negative as well.</blockquote>
