Message: <blockquote data-quote="SpaceChick" data-source="post: 423489" data-attributes="member: 77522">Why is it not working out with regard to regular food? Can you not take breaks?Do your employers know you are diabetic? If not, you must tell them as they need to make reasonable adjustments due to the equality act.I can't see a shift pattern like that being an issue as long as you are able to take suitable breaks to eat.Whilst my usual working day is 8-4, I occasionally have to cover events which means working an 8am-9pm shift, I make sure I take something healthy and nutritious that I can microwave for lunch and tea and have not had a problem.  My employers know that I am diabetic and are more than happy for me to take a lunch break at 12 and then another meal break at around 4.30/5ish.</blockquote>
