I am diabetic and have asthma. I also work in a very busy health clinic where I am exposed to a wide variety of germs and illnesses. I was one of the first there to get the flu shot because I am considered a 'high risk' for getting the flu. Ultimately the decision is yours, but ask your doctor and seriously consider their advice.

I am writing to tell you what an incredible impact these methods had on my life! I have had type 2 diabetes for 27 years. For me, the worst part of this horrible disease is the severe pain I constantly get in my feet. The pain is so bad that I avoid standing and walking as much as possible. I've got to tell you that within the first month, my feet stopped hurting altogether and I can now walk totally pain free.
Believe it or not, I even danced at my niece's wedding last month, something I have not done in a many years. I've been following the book for six months now and my blood sugar is well within normal range. I feel great!
I recommend you use the Type 2 Diabetes Destroyer to naturally reverse your diabetes.

As one of the other guys said. You should have it every year. If you have type 1 you don't want to give yourself anything else to worry about. I have type 2. I had a jab but later on I got the flue A1 and you don't want that I can tell you. Makes the ordinary flue seem like a slight sneeze. The new flu jab will cover that one as well, so go and get it done. Unless you want a couple of weeks of laying up in bed unable to do anything and drifting in and out of awareness.

Yes you should have it every year as the strain of the vaccine is likely to change slightly from year to year . I am type 2 diabetic and have been having the jab every year for the past 10 years or so , in that time I have never had flu and only one occasion of a throat infection . prior to that virtually every year I had a chest or throat infection

We consistently have ours approximately October time as we are the two on the "in possibility" sign up by way of coronary heart lawsuits so so a procedures as we are worried it incredibly is extremely worth it yet do agree there are various different strains of 'flu so we've probable been fortunate so a procedures. as quickly as I had my very first jab some years in the past I had the worst flu I had ever had,it thoroughly wiped me out for over six weeks & i became right into a greater fit woman in those days. in basic terms modifying this by way of fact we've in basic terms been talked approximately as to make our appointments so would be having the jabs on October sixth.we've had the pneumonia one in the previous yet have been the two instructed it incredibly is for existence,no longer an annual jab as others have been recommended. Having had the scary shingles two times,the two cases from being close to somebody with rooster-pox, I choose there became right into a jab against that.it is not real which you would be able to in elementary terms get shingles as quickly as,an aunt of mine has had it 9 cases.

As a diabetic you are in the at risk group and if your practice is even average you should have already received a recall by now.
Flu vaccine needs to be given every year,this is because the strains in the vaccine vary each year depending on their current prevalence.
You also need to receive a pnemococcal vaccine, this is only needed once every 10 years.

I think you should phone your doctor with this question. I have it every year because I have a compromised immune system from lymph gland removal. It does not hurt at all, so I feel I have nothing to lose and possibly everything to gain. I think diabetics are one of the categories who should have it every year.

i think its best to get it!
what harm can it do?
the reason why you need it yearly is because the flu virus changes form every year so every year scientists need to make a jab to immunise you from the current virus
hope i helped:)

the flu shot is only good for that flu season not for life
