[QUOTE="flozac, post: 2027002, member: 25686"] I have been type1 for 40 years and I have worked as a nurse then midwife for 35 years. It has never affected my work. I was on injections initially then over the last 10 years on a pump. I have worked all shift patterns short days, long days nights etc part time and full time. It is very manageable as long as you let the people around you know that you are type 1 and you may have to ram a mars bar down your throat or a glass of orange juice at busy times. just to get you through a shift with no breaks or before a delivery or going to theatre etc. You can do it and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.
