Covid 19 Vaccination question
My brother aged 44 has diabetes and recently checked his random blood sugar at home (3.5 hours after breakfast). His random blood sugar was 259.
Tommorow, he has Covid 19 vaccination scheduled by his workplace.
Two questions..
1. Can he go ahead and take vaccination with high random blood sugar or should be need to wait to first bring it under control?
2. If ok to proceed, Should he continue to take regular sugar tablet tommorow before vaccination?
He can take vaccination tomorrow and also continue his sugar medicines. But I think medicines need to be changed as blood sugar is quite high.
