Shift Work

[Saikoudaze]

Hi,

Anyone who does shift work or works nights have any experience in altering infusion rates? I find it alters my circadian rhythm and my normal daytime profile doesn't work anymore, my blood sugars go haywire.

Do a different profile. My hubby used to swop between latesn earlies. I had to have a different profile for both shifts and having to remember to switch over each Friday night, each Sunday night on another profile too.
I think thats why I like having gone back to MDI as I don't have to faff around anymore.

I rotate between days and nights have have a completely different basal regimen, it's not perfect and as my activity levels on a night shift vary widely I still find myself using temporary basals quite often. Basal testing on a night shift is a pain but worth doing
