[QUOTE="kikiwg, post: 2027025, member: 472057"] HI I AM A MIDWIFE AND A TYPE 2 DIABETIC ON INSULIN it wont be easy shifts are 12 hrs long and you have to fight to get a break to eat and drink, due to pressure of work and staffing levels, once qualified . its stressful which in combination with shifts and poor diet doesnt help glucose control , in fact my Diabetes was never well controlled until i took early retirement 5 yrs ago now i work 2 days a week . its a great job but you have to ask yourself is it worth the personal cost ? lastly midwives have poor understanding of Diabetes its not their speciality , so dont expect understanding [/QUOTE]
