Yes, Diabeticliberty,we type 2s have much to cope with too.The most frustrating thing for me is that I was never obese and was just newly retired from a very active job when diagnosed,but sixteen years ago there wasn't so much finger pointing in the press.Because of the diet I've adopted in many people's opinion I'm now getting too thin.(I'm not,5ft 2 and10st+)This is usually voiced by those who could do to lose some weight themselves.The great thing about this forum is we share our problems so can battle on.My mission is to show the hps that I was right all along despite being a little old lady!!We do have a lot to contend with but then so do type 2's. Poor control will still lead to the same potentially ****** outcome, regardless of type. You have the media and a lot of other really ignorant and poorly informed sources very wrongly pointing the finger of blame at you all saying your condition is all your own fault. It is absolutely not your own fault. You have a health service that quite frankly offers the vast majority of you all a pretty third rate service when it comes to supporting you all in the management of your condition. They stitch you all up with flimsy excuses for denying you testing equipment and when you question the decision they stick their fingers in their ears, close their eyes and sing. la, la, la, la.
If you have or don't have one it is really a personal choice. With the greatest of respect though no matter how good we control ourselves if you get flu and our immune systems are a little bit weaker than your average Joe Soap the effects will make you feel a million times worse for a million times longer than the jab. My first flu jab ever and I was laid up for a week with some lurgy or another. I swore blind that it was the jab my doctor insisted it wasn't. The next year I swerved the jab and did get influenza. I couldn't get out of bed for over 10 days and took about 3 months to fully recover. It was absolutely horrible.
Good morning to you all. After several weeks of not-so-good weather, I woke up to blue skies, no clouds in sight. Weather forecasts says temperatures will go up to 25 degrees centigrade this weekend. I am still trying to decide what I will do to enjoy this fine weather.
Blood sugars were 4.4 this morning.
The flu vaccine is made with inactivated flu virus. Believe they only use the virus parts which promote the immune response. Since the virus is no longer live it cannot give a person flu. Would agree with your GP which does not happen very often. LOL
Well, don't beat yourself up too much about it - I had exactly the same experience as you, and I personally know a couple of other people who've reacted to it in the same way. And I got 'flu followed by pneumonia when I avoided the jab, so this year I've been a good little patient and done as I'm told (which is very, very rare indeed!).Yeah I now know that. The thing was though at the time when the day after the injection I put 2 and 2 together and came up with 2222 it seemed to make sense. Spooky things happen in my alternative reality. It's a bit like the Twilight Zone with fly fishing and a labrador
Sounds delishousGood Evening everyone
Busy day forgot to post BG this morning 6.4. Before evening meal BG 5.2, 2 hrs later 12.7 massive jump had Salmon with sweet chill sauce chips small portion marrowfat peas and a slice of pumkin and carrot loaf with butter. Loved every mouthful but theirs always a price to pay!
