wow -- tough one to be working in such a stressful environment-- are your employers aware and do they allow you a bit of leeway to get in a break / eat during a shift \?Hi @azure and @himtoo
Thanks for replying!
To be honest I havent really looked into the pump. Im pretty content with injections at the moment. I think the main problem is that I am not able to have regular meals but I didnt think this would have such an impact as I have had the same job since diagnosed!
I always eat twice a day but it could be 8am and then nothing until 10pm, or 3pm then 6pm.
I am awful at blood tests and only really test when driving.
I did find that having the libre helped but so expensive!
I work in a pub in quite a troublesome area, so I think I keep my levels higher as I dont want to start having a hypo when something kicks off as distinguishing hypo and adrenaline isnt easy.
Thanks
HiHi,
So I was diagnosed about 3 years ago. My brother was diagnosed when he was 9 so I was aware of the symptoms so thankfully caught it early and managed to be in and out of hospital with no complications.
I started off religiously caring about hba1c and eating correctly, but over the years and with my job (shift work approx 65 hours a week) I find that my health has taken a backseat.
My most recent hba1c was 75 which is awful and I would like some advice on how I can bring it down!
I have also recently been prescribed metformin to take with my levemir and was interested if any other Type 1 has tried this and if it worked?
Thanks!
