[QUOTE="Okulu, post: 1660677, member: 228412"] Hello! So...I'm going to be doing my first ever night shifts (4 in a row), starting next weekend. I'm not really sure how much exercise I'll be doing but will be in a hospital, so may be quite a lot of walking and being on my feet. I am completely clueless as to how to manage my diabetes during this period, and would be super grateful for any advice as to basal rates and eating...? I'm on a pump, and current basal rates are: 00:00-04:00 - 0.85 u/h 04:00-08:00 - 0.95 08:00-20:00 - 0.9 20:00-00:00 - 0.5 Also, how do you guys get into the sleep routine for the first night? And then how to find reverting back to normal again (with insulin, eating and sleep) after you've done nights? I really would be so grateful for any advice you can give. Thanks so so much in advance!
