[QUOTE="CaroleHumphreys, post: 619685, member: 124727"] Hi [USER=88961]@AndBreathe[/USER] - It was following my last glucose tolerance test (a few years ago), the results showed my body was able to produce insulin in the daytime, and I was told I had no nightime production of insulin. I kept on top of this for a significant time through not eating after 6pm and stayed at a healthy weight. Once I started working on nights, the pounds became to pile on. There are limitations on what I can eat at night due to the job, having only a kettle and microwave in the way of cooking facilities at work, plus it's difficult to shop for food and ingredients on the dates I'm working due to the long 12 hour shifts. I do need to make a better effort on my days off with regards to preparing food for my night shifts; I can make no excuses there :) [/QUOTE]
