Reaction?: If you felt ill after receiving the vaccine, the effect on your blood glucose levels may be related. More information is needed, but this event should be reported by your provider to the company. There are online reporting websites and an app available to do so. Please follow your insulin and Diabetes plan as outlined by your physician.
