[QUOTE="tim2000s, post: 1096971, member: 30007"] I'm afraid I agree with [USER=211504]@TorqPenderloin[/USER] on this one [USER=246897]@Gunn3rs6[/USER]. While I appreciate that you have been getting used to living with T1D, the occy health guys are quite right in that you could work any of those shift patterns with MDI. You would simply need to step out to inject your basal. I have thought long and hard about doing medical trials as I recognise that, for example, being put on a pump and the education that requires, is rather different from trying to take time away to participate in a trial. If I was your employer in this position, I would be thinking that you were asking a lot. Many families don't sit down for dinner together, and while I appreciate that you may be concerned about both of you being diagnosed as T1 at the same time, let me replay what you said about your girlfriend back in a slightly different way so you can consider what you said: Or from your girlfriend's point of view "He doesn't trust me to take good enough care of myself to leave me alone with our child". Being able to look at both sides of the coin is quite an important skill. For what it's worth, I went through a period where I worked overnight shifts, dependent on call. I just took my basal insulin with me. [/QUOTE]
