      In your own words, how would you describe the feeling of a severe low?
      Before Dexcom it was in the middle of the night and my husband woke me up because he said I felt very clammy to him. I was sweating profusely. I could barely think to get out the words to him to go get my bottle of juice from the fridge. I asked him to get my meter so I could check my bs. And it was no surprise that the number 21 came up.

      I dont recall it being dramatically different after the 1st or 2nd dose of the moderna vaccine. I felt fatigued so if they were a little high, i would have attributed it to the reduced activity.

      The only effects of Moderna #1 was I felt exhausted that evening, and the next day I couldn’t move my arm without feeling pain. It took awhile for that to completely subside (3 to 5 days) My next apt. is in early March, however this bad weather is delaying many clinics until seniors can safely get to and from. I’m one of them.

      I have had my first dose of the Moderna vaccine and had no reaction other than sore arm. My blood sugar was stable. I have heard the second dose can be cause more side effects so I will have to reply again after March 4th.

      I had the first shot of Moderna and only had a sore arm overnight. No effect on blood glucose.

      I’ve received first and second Pfizer vaccine shots!!! My pump is out of warranty and not working properly, so I’m compensating the higher bgs with insulin shots. I haven’t noticed any cause specificly related to the vaccine. I’m waiting for my new pump arriving on Wednesday!!! Then training!

      I have had both doses of the Pfizer vaccine. I didn’t notice a significant impact on blood sugars that couldn’t be explained by other factors. As far as side effects, I had a slightly sore arm after the first dose. After the second, I had a very sore arm, had a headache, felt feverish/chills and fatigued, but did not actually have a fever.

      I haven’t received a COVID-19 vaccine as I’ve only recently been discharged from hospital because I was infected with COVID-19. I will be getting my first vaccination, but I need to wait for 28 days to elapse from the date of my diagnosis.

      I received the first Moderna vaccine through my job in January and no side effects except for a sore arm for about a day at the injection site. I got the second one last Friday at Noon and was fine except for arm soreness until the next day. About 24 hours after the injection, I developed muscle aches, slight fever at 98.8 (I usually run 96.8 to 97.6), lightheadedness, fatigue, weakness, nausea (no vomiting) and my BGs started creeping up. By Saturday night and into Sunday my BGs were elevated in the 300s, and I felt like I got hit by a steamroller – no energy. Felt like I had mono – all I wanted to was sleep. I forced myself to eat chicken soup and jello and frequent sips of water to keep hydrated. Fortunately I did not puke. By Monday morning I was feeling better and BGs were descending back into range, and by Monday evening I was much better. I had to call the Employee Health COVID hotline to report I had a reaction and they advised me to stay home on Monday and Tuesday to give me time to recover. I only work three days so I will return on Friday. The handout I was given about the vaccine mentioned that side effects are not uncommon and may or may not show up. It also said that side effects can occur

      I’ve had both of my Pfizer doses, now. First one wasn’t even as sore as the flu vaccine. Second one my arm was a little sore but developed a low grade fever, only 100.5, with body aches and chills. Only lasted 24 hours. Sugars were fine.

      I have received the first dose (Pfizer), with no side effects and no impact on my BG on that day or the following two days.

      In Florida, only health care workers and over 65s are eligible unless you are a tourist (joke). So I’m too young at the moment.

      Not eligible yet. Grocery store worker with diabetes but still waiting. My son has gotten both of his with no problems (works in a senior community) and my husband got his first (emergency response team member) but he just found out they don’t have his second dose! I have no idea what he is going to do. This has been a nightmare for everyone! He was told by one person not to worry, one dose was good enough! He is 70 years old, a cancer survivor and working the vaccine center! What are they talking about?!

      I have the first dose of the Pfizer vaccine late yesterday afternoon and have a bit of a sore arm today. Blood sugar is a bit high but probably due to a very low blood sugar I had last night and don’t think it’s related to the vaccine.

      In Massachusetts the only reason I’ll be in the next phase is because I’m 65. Being T1D doesn’t get you one but T2D does.

      My blood sugar was higher than usual after the first dose, but not after the second dose.

      It’s been 2 days sine I received the first dose and I have been fighting high blood sugars since the first night. My CGM kept me up all night and I kept correcting. However, I developed ketones from a low fever that kept my BS elevated overnight.

      I had my first dose (Moderna) and was amazed not only to have barely even any arm soreness (and nothing else), but also no increase at all in insulin resistance. I’ve come to expect a decrease in insulin sensitivity with any and all vaccinations, so this was a surprise. I’d be more comfortable if I had a reaction, since of course the vaccine can be damaged if not cared for properly. Perhaps the second shot (Feb. 25) will be more noticeable, but I can’t count on it. My 80-year-old brother had Moderna for both shots and had no reaction to either shot. But since he’s not diabetic, he couldn’t tell me anything about potential effects on his insulin sensitivity.

      I’ve had both of my Moderna COVID-19 vaccinations and didn’t have any noticeable reaction with my blood sugars. I felt like I had a very mild case of the flu on the 2nd day which lasted 24 hours. On day 2 redness, rash, mild swelling and tremendous itching at the injection site. They gave both shots in the same arm so I wonder if that was the cause?

      In Ohio, you have to be 65+ OR have been hospitalized in the past year with T1D issues in order to receive the vaccine now. I am not eligible in either category. I will be in the next age bracket to receive it when the governor announces the 60-64 age group.
