Flu jab, does it raise you blood sugar ?

[ballabob]

I had my flu jab a few days ago, ever since my sugars are in the 12's does having the jab affect blood sugars ?

Didn’t notice any changes after mine

My bg levels are ok since my flu jab Saturday just gone.
Just got a dam cold, well not a full blown cold but I do think it's from the flu jab

I always respond badly to it, but the actual flu is worse. Lesser of 2 evils. Sugars may go up a little, but they do come down on their own after a couple of days.

I got really ill last year after my flu-jab, with tender ribs and chest. The GP insisted they use a dead virus and it can't infect you. Funny how so many of us get ill soon after. Hmmmm.

Thought I got away scott free this time around. Alas, pukey, dizzy & bg's up. Keep having to tell myself it's better than the actual flu, but my stomach begs to differ. Hope everyone's back up to par again soon!

Having my anti flu jab on Wed. Hope it doesn't make me sick or raise BG and if it does, I wonder if I should give it a quick prick to get it back in line.

I didn't have any raised levels

No. Just a pulsing pain in my arm for a while but I coped with my shift at work moving boxes so guess it was manageable.
