Two days ago my son had his flu jab, now he is going through pain in his stomach and his sugar will not drop at all, been to the hospital yesterday and still battling with the side effect. :(

Hi ETA.

Sorry to read about your son , I had my flu jab yesterday , and seem to be battling something silly to get my levels low today , I had a small hypo last night , covered it but woke up to a level of 18 and can't seem to get any lower than 16.

Hope your sons feeling better soon
 
Ah sorry to hear that, yes I know we have the same problem, high all the time and trying to normalise the sugar but no, ... Its obvious that there is something to do with the jab, my son is having terrible stomach ache too, his blood results were all fine, no temperature too,....
Ah if this is how illness influence in diabetics than I don't know what to say, as he was diagnosed a month ago everything is new to me, it will be hard but we all need to be strong,... I hope you feel better soon, have a lovely afternoon,...

No everyone has the reactions, this was my sons first one, he is still in bed, little less pain in his stomach and his sugar is normalising, my mom (she is 56) had it the same day as him and she is completely fine, dont worry ;))
