Hi everyone,
I've been diabetic for 8 years and I have had very little trouble with it, until recently.
I've started a new job working at a chemical plant. This job means I work shifts, (2 12 hour days, 2 12 hour nights then 6 days off). Due to the nature of the job, some days work can be extremely quiet, others can be very busy meaning I forget to do blood sugars, and I can't keep my monitor on me because the atmosphere on the job has the potential to become very explosive (similar to the rules with using phones at a petrol station)
Does anybody have any advice or tips on how I can get back on track with remembering to do readings?
I'd really appreciate any help, I've recently become very conscious of the fact that my poor control could lead to me going blind
