[QUOTE="pon 2, post: 1837874, member: 473529"] Hi, I do a combination of 12 hour days and nights and overtime, although I am a type 1 I find that as long as I eat approximately every 5 or 6 hours I don't have any problems. the only issue I have is when I start my night shift I cant sleep on the 1st day so I end up eating more than usual but it's never really caused me any problems. I am site based and nearly always take my own food and snacks to work so I don't have the problem of trying to find a meal and I have always got a packet of dextrose tabs and a snack in my pocket just in case I get stuck on a job and cant get away. clearly, your circumstances are different from mine and from what you say it seems as though your employer could be a bit more helpful but you will get there. cheers [/QUOTE]
