[QUOTE="Trinnyco, post: 2026893, member: 502884"] I'm type 1 and a student midwife so can safely say it's possible! :) I do find it easier to eat a low carb/keto diet which is personal preference as it keeps my blood sugars more predictable and stable throughout 12 hour shifts. I have gone through times of having the libre sensor which is helpful on placement but not a necessity. I always have dextrose in my pocket just in case. Also if you find that you struggle with nights - don't worry - occupational health are there and can sign you off nights if blood sugars are too unpredictable. Don't let the shifts hold you back, it is an exciting career with many roles that do not involve long/night shifts! Good luck! Feel free to message me if you have any midwifery specific questions x [/QUOTE]
