Diabetes sufferers should have flu jab
DIABETES UK is recommending everyone with diabetes takes up the offer of a free flu jab from their GP as soon as possible.
People with diabetes are categorised as a high-risk group but nearly a third of people with diabetes under the age of 65 are still not getting the jab.
Having flu can really upset diabetes control so the jab is vital.
