Hi, I've been a type 1 diabetic for 18+ years. I do 4 injections a day. I work in a busy, very stressful call centre. My job involves working shifts, though up until now nothing too drastic. I was working between the hours of 9 - 6.30 with 4 lates shifts (3.30 - midnight) in every month. This has been changed to 7 continuous 3.30 - midnight shifts in a row, couple of days off then 3 X 8-4.30PM shifts, day off, 5 X 1.30-10PM shifts, day off then 9-5.30 for 6 days. Basically it's all over the shop. This will mess up my control / sugar levels. Has anyone experience of such changes in day to day patterns? If so how has it affected your control? Did you raise this with your employer and if you did was anything done to assist (ie more regular shift pattern) or were they not accommodating and you had to change jobs?
Currently discussing all options with employer but need to backup my concerns. Any help / experiences most welcome.
