people with no sense of humor and take life to serious
i dont want to waffle on about myself this is just a question in general why is it every time you go for a jab say like the flu jab 3 or 4 days l8r your bs always seem to rise and stay up for about 3 or 4 days and stay up even though you feel fine ive just had tetnus hepitits b and typhoid and have encountured this prob yet again is it worth it has anyone else encounterd this prob i personally find it very frustraiting just after some feedback thats all

Hi Carlos,

They do warn patients with diabetes that these jabs can affect bg's over the following days, so I would imagine you are not alone here.

I have the seasonal flu-jab every year, it doesn't have any impact on my bg, but it always leaves my arm swollen and sore for around a week after.
