GET PROTECTED: Patients urged to get their flu jab before winter sets in
DIABETICS are being urged to take up the opportunity to have their free flu jab before winter sets in.
The condition means those contracting flu can get fluctuations in their blood glucose levels leading to other health problems including pneumonia and bronchitis.
The Public Health Wales campaign encourages people with long term health conditions including diabetes, anyone aged over 65 and pregnant women to have their free flu jab and ‘beat flu’ this winter.
Those living with this condition, or you are caring for someone who does, should make an appointment or find out more by visiting www.beatflu.org or www.curwchffliw.org
