Message: <blockquote data-quote="SeanAshy" data-source="post: 219308" data-attributes="member: 37594">People with diabetes are more at risk of complications arising as a result of infections such as influenza and pneumonia. Elevated blood glucose levels, as a response to infection, can lead to uncontrolled diabetes and the potential danger of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) or Hyperglycaemic Hyperosmolar State (HHS), both of which can be fatal if left untreated.Influenza, or 'flu', is a highly contagious acute viral infection that affects people of all ages. It starts suddenly with:    fever    chills    headache    aching muscles    cough or other respiratory symptoms.</blockquote>
