[QUOTE="SamW, post: 148534, member: 28500"] Hello My husband is a type 1 diabetic and has been for nearly 10 years. He has worked for a well known supermarket chain for just a little longer than this. They have made a couple of adjustments over the years, like letting him work in the chilled foods section which makes it easier for him to control his blood sugar levels. But lately they keep changing the shifts in which he works - usually several times within the week. For instance, last week he worked: 4am to 12 noon 4am to 12 noon 9am to 5pm 1pm to 10pm 8am to 5pm I find these times a bit too random. I'm worried that on Monday morning he's doing his morning insulin around 3am and then on Thursday he's not doing his morning insulin till around 10am and then on Friday it's back to 7am. Surely this can't be good for him and I was wondering if there was something in writing he could pass to his manager to make his shifts a little less random? Thanks Sam. [/QUOTE]
