Can a flu shot prevent diabetes? This question has our support group again. Of course, a vaccination against influenza to protect against the flu virus and prevent an outbreak of the dangerous disease. This preventive measure could still associated with the development of diabetes may be important. You know, we are assuming that diabetes is due to underlying disease as a viral infection. In this attack the virus, the pancreas and slowly kill the insulin producing B-cells of the pancreas from. It has often been represented on the assumption that it could be satisfied with such viruses in order to act "leftover" flu viruses that have a flu therapy withdrawn and established themselves in the pancreas. Would that really the case, then - so the assumption - a flu vaccination could not only prevent the outbreak of flu, but also prevent diabetes. That is, as I said, a previously unconfirmed opinion that speaks but for a flu vaccination. One thing is clear: prevent diabetes is still better than to treat it!
