Clinical Course: The patient who called to report events that occurred after he was administered 2 doses of Pfizer Vaccine for Covid: he was diagnosed with COVID; and positive reaction of his blood sugar levels have leveled out, improved. COVID: Onset of symptoms where he started feeling funny late Thursday night: 30Dec2022, he wasn't feeling right. At the time he thought it could just be the power of suggestion because a lot of people were saying they were sick or had COVID. He was exposed to people who were positive for COVID several times; his whole base for the past 3 weeks people have been catching COVID which they are assuming is Omicron. By 31Dec2021 he was feeling absolutely miserable. He took a COVID home test on 31Dec2021 which was negative for COVID. He then took a COVID PCR test on 02Jan2022 which was positive for COVID-he received the results information on 03Jan2022. He initially reported that he felt sick for a couple of days and then kind of got through it; but clarified that he does have ongoing but improved dry cough from COVID. Dry cough: Described as kind of a dry cough; this is the only lasting effect of COVID that he is aware of. Dry cough does not happen all the time; occurs sometimes during the day depending on if the weather changes, or if he is laying on his back he will start to cough. Caller was prescribed Benzonatate 100mg capsules by the Physician as treatment for this event. only lasting effect, kind of dry cough, not all the time, but mostly the dry cough sometimes during the day depending on temperature changed or laying on back start to cough. improved over time, but still ongoing.  Positive reaction: blood sugar levels have leveled out, improved: Caller explained historical information that he was diagnosed with Type II Diabetes in 2006. He has been on Omnipod Humalog insulin with Dexcom G6 monitor, Metformin and Trulicity for the Type II Diabetes for at least 1 year. What he noticed after getting through COVID, starting around 03Jan2022 or 04Jan2022 was that his blood sugar levels leveled out, improved. This occurred without any change in his diet or exercise or anything like that. Before this change he had been monitoring his Type II Diabetes, using Dexcom G6 monitor and his blood sugar levels numbers would go up and down; sometimes they looked more like a heart rate monitor where he would get a lot of spikes up and down. Since around 03Jan2022 or 04Jan2022 the Dexcom G6 monitor blood sugar levels numbers look more like a soft wave; his blood sugar levels numbers have been what he would consider in the normal range big time; and he has been able to stay in that normal range without no need to bolus insulin with carbs like he normally does. He didn't change his eating habits, in fact in a few cases he tried to eat badly to see if the blood sugar levels numbers would jump up and they do not jump up which is just odd. He knows if he ate like a whole bunch of French fries or high carb food his blood sugar levels numbers would zip up in the past, but they no longer do that, his blood sugar levels numbers stay leveled out even after eating something high carb.Dose change: He was going to take the booster 31Dec2021, but because he was feeling sick with what would later be diagnosed as COVID, he did not get the booster dose.
