I'm curious about whether it's safe for someone with G6PD deficiency to get the COVID vaccine. I understand that G6PD is often related to malaria, but I'm concerned about any potential risks. Could you provide some insight on this?

I'm really concerned about my wife. She was dealing with weakness because of low hemoglobin levels and we consulted a physician for treatment. She felt much better for a while, but now the problem with low hemoglobin is back again. Could you please advise us on what we should do next?

Question

I'm curious about the effects of a blood transfusion. Specifically, could receiving one actually cause a spike in blood sugar levels, even if the transfused blood has a normal glucose level? Im really concerned about how safe it is.
