My 16 year old son was with her at the time an they had to take her to the Emergency Room a couple of times. She was still having this issue, she was not able to eat any carbs or rice, Indian bread or any sugar.She can only had oatmeal and this had caused her to loose a lot of weight because everything leads to sugar highs and lows. She didn't had this before, she had no family history of diabetes. Yesterday we were read information online and people are pointing towards sugar issues related to the vaccine, some people became diabetic, or hypoglycemia issues, some are on insulin. They were still doing tests, she will had a stomach imaging tomorrow, they did an endoscopy and did allergy test we had seen many doctors. My wife never took diabetes meds before. Did you had any other reports of this issue with the sugar i.e. affecting liver or pancreas"?   The lot number for bnt162b2 was not provided and will be requested during follow up.
