Millerite said:I don't have flu jabs, never have probably never will. mind you that is somewhat due to the belief that if I get flu and die, I'll likely not have to wake up staggering about in a daze till I manage to get some insulin in me again, so probably not the best reason for not having the jab.
It's a toss of the coin and see what happens theory.
I've had flu a couple of times in my life, i think both time were pretty close calls, but don't remember a lot about it, just the fever breaking really. however that's twice in 26 years of being diabetic.
Some people get in at the drop of a hat, and some people don't get it at all, so get it even if they've had the jab. we're all different .
I don't get out a lot, so probably won't be in contact with anyone with it.
One issue i have with the flu jab, is that flu has various strains, so getting a jab for one of them won't necessarily stop me getting one of the other strains. and if there's no absolute, then I'll take my chances and see what happens.
