[QUOTE="Deleted Account, post: 1481834"] The way I read this is the extra "dose" of shingles whilst you still had some shingles virus left in your system MAY have energised your auto-immune system. I see no research to corroborate this. It is not known what causes type 1 diabetes: I got it in my mid-thirties with no history of any type of diabetes in my family. Although it is frustrating, my attitude has been very much a case of "I have it now, let's minimise the impact it can have on my life present and future rather than dwelling on the past." As far as flu-jabs go, this is an interesting one as they have to change every year to protect against different strains of the flu virus. I take it every year: the one occasion I had full blown flu was so horrible, I would hate to have it again. That time was before I had diabetes and I know being ill a little amount impacts my BG. The one time I had a reaction against my jabs was when I had a pneumonia jab at the same time. Talking to others who refuse to have their flu jabs after one terrible reaction seems to always coincide with the pneumonia jab. My sample is too small to be statistically significantly. However, it is enough of a coincidence for me to continue with my annual flu jabs. [/QUOTE]
