a quick question

If you are otherwise more active in the day then you may find your insulin will need to be increased to cover your food, eating early shouldn't be a problem but remember to take your meter along so you can test throughout the day.

Enjoy!

Coolpot..

I assume that you are on the MDI regime?

The only thing that might be effect with eating your breakfast a lot earlier than normal, is your insulin ratio's.. It could be that the resistance normally associated with later in the morning, it could still be at a lower resistance..

So you need to think which way you want to play this, take a slightly reduced amount of insulin, or take the same amount? Either way, I would do some extra testing to ensure you either catch an high or a pending low very quickly, and plenty of hypo kit just in case.

Hi there have you thought of having your breakfast in the lorry, at a more reasonable time? because that is such an early start. I would of thought you were entitled to 'tweak' your food routine due to having diabetes. I can't see why not, because you would be sitting with the driver and the driver probably has a break every couple of hours or so :?
Good luck and I hope you enjoy being part of a different side of your work. Best wishes RRB

as said before, make sure you take your testing kit, and carry something just in case,(mars bar or lucozade+ carbs) as its not always going to be convienient to stop....better to have it and not need it, than to need it and not have it.
