Covid vaccination

8 Replies

Its now 3 and a half years since my op . I know some people get hypos after the op but i.ve never had one . However 2 days after having my sixth covid vaccination i had one with all the classic signs. I hadnt eaten or drunk or done anything different to what i normally do so i wondered if it could be to do with the vaccination and just seeing if anyone else has had this reaction .

I have had hypos since surgery but have also told I am pre diabetic. I didn't understand this as most of the readings for blood glucose I get are low. Hzavnt noticed any thing with covid jabs but have another next week. Also have an appointment soon with diabetes nurse to see if she can explain. I have been on a diabetes awareness course that resulted in me losing yet more weight so I was advised not to be too strict with dietary considerations. I shall se what the diabetes nurse says but sometimes it seems we just can't win. Have to remember that we are lucky to be

I have had had hypos when my bowel is empty, but not otherwise. I find one of Nairns oatcakes with a cup of tea helps and cold wet face cloths to bring hot feeling down.

Hi Molly,

I have suffered from them for 6 years sometimes no reason. I have dextrose in my handbag and banana or digestives are good.

Not looking forward to my next Vaccine next week.

Best Wishes

Debbie
