I had my swine flu jab today and as i love a gadget i thought i would buy a thermometer to see if i got a fever. However after getting it home and testing myself (by mouth) i realised i was running very low! I have taken it 5 times today over about 8 hours and i have been 35.5 four times and 35.6 once. Obviously googled it and realised there were links between body temp and diabetes which i was unaware of. Very worrying to be so low tho. Anyone else had similar? I hust hope this fever will kick in soon! :shock:

I had my swine flu jab and a pneumonia jab this week on the same day and did not notice any change in temperature...but then again I didn't check it with a thermometer...

I did feel a bit off for 2 days though and felt that I my temp was up...also had a pain under my armpit (the one where the pneumonia one was injected)...

If you are getting cold a lot I'd mention to your specialist and see if it is linked to your sugar control. I know your feet can get cold if your arteries or veins in your legs thin due to poor control, maybe worth checking yourself out...I reckon 'normal' people go up and down throughout the day though (especially in Wales where I live as it's f-ing freezing)
