[QUOTE="UK T1, post: 2391934, member: 503751"] You also have to factor in how you would react if you actually get the virus. Many have reported far worse insulin resistance which has lasted a number of weeks/months while being ill with Covid-19. Hope you all get back to pre-vaccine routines quickly. I had the AZ vaccine and had awful side effects and required 4x my usual total daily insulin for about 1 week after the first dose. This was mostly by raising by basal, and I was able to keep my bolus ratios the same (other than the initial 24hrs responding to the sudden rise with corrections). Almost 1 week after my second dose now and not had any side effects or change to my insulin requirements. I appreciate this is a different vaccine, but hopefully those of you with issues will see them resolved soon. Reading some of these posts it seems more of you with issues use pumps? I have no experience of pumps but wonder why this might be. Also, some of you say your bloods rise again after longer periods following your correction doses, which suggests this is thanks to your liver releasing glucose rather than carbs in your diet. I wonder if further increases in basal will help here? I was only confident in raising mine so much because I had the libre sensors and only did occaisional finger prick tests, completely understand it would be scary to do without your fingers ending up like pin cushions if you don't have a libre/dexcom!
