It appears that the powers that be have known for some time that Shift Work can make you more susceptible to Type 2 Diabetes
Your body clock is off and it's messing with your general health, if I had known this years ago when I worked at night as a taxi driver
I might have changed to the day shift, looking back I can see I was pre- diabetic as I had problems with exhaustion after eating at night,
I had a previous job involving climbing stairs, and had to stop eating dinner before work in the evening, otherwise I had a problem going
Up flights of stairs, funny thing was the exercise made me lose weight, ( so much for losing weight and curing diabetes ) I had small snacks
at intervals, and a meal after work at midnight,
Mabey this information should be more widely publicised regarding Shift Work and various illnesses
