[QUOTE="viviennem, post: 264354, member: 31282"] Good post, Gillkin :thumbup: . Flu is really very very serious. I've had it twice in my life, last had it in 2008 (pre-diabetes) and it very nearly killed me (or it felt like that!) - despite having had the jab! Must have been a different strain. They like diabetics to have the jab because flu causes chaos with our blood sugars, and normally it's impossible to eat anything, or even take much fluid, 'cos someone has stuffed your throat with spiky golf balls and you can't swallow :shock: (my last experience anyway). It's worth having the jab because it really is best for us not to have flu. If you react badly, maybe reconsider for next time. If you work with children or old people, it's best for them if you have the jab, too. If you catch something directly after the flu jab, you probably picked it up in the surgery waiting room - most unhealthy place on this earth :lol: ! Viv 8) [/QUOTE]
