Type 2 diabetic and work night shift

[pollybostik]

I have only been a confirmed diabetic for 6 weeks I work a night shift Mon-Friday and finding it hard to get my sugars under control. Nurse at the Doctors practice told me not to eat after 7 in the evening but that does not work for me. I just wondered if anyone else works shifts and how they manage their diabetes.

Perhaps you should translate the "don't eat after 7pm" into "don't eat within 3-4 hours of going to sleep" - would that work for you ?

It's probably nonsense anyway, and you may do better in the Low carb section of the forum for tips on how to eat less carbohydrate and reduce blood sugar.
