My diabetic dad responded to the vaccine in a similar manner. We spent one scary day in the hospital. After changing his pills to insulin shots (temporarily for a month), he started getting well again.

  May I ask what kind of diabetes does he have, and what vaccine did he get? Asking as some people close to me are diabetic and will be getting their shots soon. Thanks a lot

    not the original poster: Type 2. Type 1 is strictly insulin dependent (and always at least 'medium severe')

    He is Type 2 and he got the Sinovac one. Edit: I think I must share his medical history too: He is 65. 2007: diabetes 2018: multiple myeloma 2019: 6 months of kemo 2020: bone marrow transplant 2021: cancer is currently dormant, 2 shots of Sinovac in 30 days
