after effects of flu jab

Hi everyone, I just need a bit of advice, I had my flu jab on Monday afternoon, and it was fine, I have pmr/gca and I am on 6mg prednis.

I have steroid induced type 2 diabetes which is usually quite high, but yesterday it went low in the afternoon and evening, but not too bad today it is 6.1, but I woke up this morning with pain in left side of my head and top of jaw, do you think I should up the preds and what too, or just wait to see what happens after a couple of days.

Many thanks

I would ring the GP practice and ask for advice. Why are you associating it with the flu jab?
