- People that can't listen to other people's opinions.
People that can't say sorry.
I used to alter my rates- have one when my hubby worked earlys so were up at 4.30 and on late shift we slept in so my whole morning rates were delayed by 5 hours from midnight to 10am.
Because of my dawn and waking phenomenon I have to apply those rates before hand no matter what time I wake up..
Hiw long have you been on pump, would you consider flipping your rates over so that they reflect the working/sleep pattern but on nights instead?
Would you rememberto change basal rates over?
I know when hubbybworked nights I also had to change my bolus's as well....
Not much help as it was changing sleep due to hubby, not me actually changing my work...
Someone will come along soon that works shifts.
