[QUOTE="Zilsniggy, post: 1747462, member: 222691"] Basically you don't eat during the day on nightshift, so you need to take your insulin during the night, when you eat. There's nothing to be confused about here. Your nurse should have asked if you work and how you manage with shifts, indeed what shifts you do, and given advice to suit. As you're awake during the night, you need to be taking your insulin then, when you're up and about, active and eating meals. You should do some reading, google insulin response and you might find info relating to Lantus(basal insulin) and Novorapid(bolus insulin) and how they work They basically mimic your body's response to food, one being a background insulin which is there all the time(Lantus) the other being a faster response to food eaten(novorapid), mimicking your pancreas' normal response to food eaten (Phase 1 and 2 insulin responses).
