The exact mechanism is not fully understood, but several factors might contribute to hyperglycemia following vaccination:
Immune Response: Vaccines activate the immune system, which can trigger the release of stress hormones like cortisol. These hormones can increase blood sugar levels. Inflammation: Post-vaccination inflammation can affect glucose metabolism, potentially leading to hyperglycemia. Underlying Conditions: Individuals with pre-existing conditions, such as diabetes or metabolic syndrome, may be more susceptible to hyperglycemia after vaccination.
