As a diabetes wellbeing coach and diabetes reversal expert, I know how important it is for diabetics to take care of their health. 

Diabetes is a chronic condition that affects millions of people around the world, and it can have serious consequences if left untreated. 

That’s why I want to talk to you today about something that could save your life: getting vaccinated on National Vaccination Day 2023.

I know that getting vaccinated can be a touchy subject for some people. There are a lot of myths and misinformation out there, and it can be hard to know what to believe. But as someone who has worked with countless diabetics over the years, I can tell you without a doubt that getting vaccinated is one of the most important things you can do for your health.

Let me tell you a story about one of my clients, Jane. Jane had been living with type 2 diabetes for several years, and she was struggling to manage her blood sugar levels. She had tried everything – changing her diet, exercising more, taking medication – but nothing seemed to work. Then, one day, she heard about the COVID-19 vaccine and decided to get it.

At first, Jane was nervous. She had heard all sorts of rumors about the vaccine – that it wasn’t safe, that it could cause side effects, that it wouldn’t work. But after talking to her doctor and doing her own research, she decided to go ahead with it.

And you know what? It was one of the best decisions she ever made. Not only did she feel a sense of relief knowing that she was protected against COVID-19, but she also noticed something unexpected: her blood sugar levels started to improve. At first, she thought it was a fluke, but as time went on, she realized that her vaccine had actually helped to regulate her blood sugar levels.

How is that possible, you might be wondering? Well, it turns out that the COVID-19 virus can have a negative impact on blood sugar levels, especially in diabetics. By getting vaccinated and protecting yourself against the virus, you’re also protecting your body from this potential side effect.

But that’s not the only reason diabetics should get vaccinated. Diabetes can weaken your immune system, making it harder for your body to fight off infections. This puts diabetics at a higher risk for complications from COVID-19, including hospitalization and even death. By getting vaccinated, you’re not only protecting yourself, but you’re also protecting those around you – especially those who may be more vulnerable, like elderly or immunocompromised individuals.

I know that getting vaccinated can be scary. But I want you to know that you’re not alone. Millions of people have already been vaccinated, and the vast majority have experienced no serious side effects. Plus, getting vaccinated is quick and easy – you can usually get it done in less than an hour.

There are several vaccines that are advised for diabetes patients, including the COVID-19 vaccine, the flu vaccine, and the pneumococcal vaccine. 

Here are some key points about each vaccine:

COVID-19 vaccine: The COVID-19 vaccine is highly recommended for diabetes patients as they are at a higher risk for severe complications if they contract the virus. The vaccine is typically administered in two doses, with the second dose given 2-3 weeks after the first dose. Both Pfizer and Moderna vaccines have been authorized for use in the US, with booster doses also recommended for certain groups.

Flu vaccine: The flu vaccine is also highly recommended for diabetes patients as they are at a higher risk for severe complications if they contract the flu. The vaccine is typically administered once a year, usually in the fall, and is available as a shot or nasal spray.

Pneumococcal vaccine: The pneumococcal vaccine is recommended for diabetes patients who are 65 or older, or who have certain risk factors such as a weakened immune system. The vaccine is typically administered in two doses, with the second dose given 1 year after the first dose.

Overall, getting vaccinated is an important step in protecting your health as a diabetes patient. Talk to your doctor about which vaccines are right for you and when to get them. By staying up-to-date on your vaccinations, you can help prevent serious complications and stay healthy.

So, if you’re a diabetic, I want to encourage you to make getting vaccinated a priority on National Vaccination Day 2023. It could save your life. Talk to your doctor, do your own research, and make an informed decision. And if you have any questions or concerns, don’t hesitate to reach out to me or other healthcare professionals for guidance.

Remember: you are not powerless against diabetes. By taking control of your health and making smart choices, you can live a long, healthy, and fulfilling life. Getting vaccinated is just one of many steps you can take towards that goal.
