[QUOTE="docvern, post: 75458, member: 19158"] What a welcome to find a forum for a forgotten people..... First of all let me introduce myself,,,,I am a 38 year old front line police officer diagnosed with type 1 diabetes when I was 21..initially I had a bit of denial towards diabetes and tried to lead a normal life,,,,my HBA1C has never been in single figures with my normal being in or around 11. Eventually my Diabetic doctor got me on a DAFNE course as I am now starting to get minor complications eg burning feet. I finished the course 2 weeks ago and I believe it has given me the wake up call I needed and the knowledge to improve my general diabetes health. My problem is I do shift work and I know I could get put on day shift but for other reasons that really does not suit. My BG when I am on rest days I am very pleased with, with readings of between 5 and 9. But I am now sitting at 3.30 am with a BG of 16.0. My last meal was at 11 p.m. and comprised of chicken salad which I did not take any QA for ( my BG prior to eating was 9.4). Tomorrow I know I will wake at 11.30 with a BG around 3-4. What the heck am I doing wrong? Why is my BG creeping up in middle of night and then dropping so low during the day when I sleep???? I take 30 units of lantus at 10 p.m. and am completely baffled…..any help much appreciated….My DAFNE tutor is also baffled… [/QUOTE]
