Can the flu jab raise glucose levels?

My doctor has me and Xrs booked in for two weeks time! There is a small chance i was told that glucose levels could raise because of what is happening once you have the flu jab!

i would prefer the flu jab rather than get flu!

Can I ask a 'flu jab' question ... I've never had flu and never had a flu jab but my GP has insisted I have a flu jab because I am diabetic (T2 for 7 weeks now)

I really do not want the jab but as I now feel a completely different person - was normal, now diabetic I am unsure what to do.

Any advice?

People who are touchy.......feign indignation at the slightest thing. Hypocrites, bullies and cowards.

Your GP may well wish you to have the jab, however you have every right to refuse it.
Don't be bullied.
