[QUOTE="azure, post: 1274452, member: 39639"] I've worked nights occasionally. I was expecting to go low with all the extra activity when I'd normally be sleeping, but in fact I went high. I believe this was due to the 'stress' on the body of being awake during the night. You could equally go low, as Noblehead as said above. So I second the advice to test regularly and frequently. Be prepared for both highs and lows. Take your insulin pen (or whatever you're using) in case you need to correct, take glucose and carby snacks, and take plenty of testing strips. [/QUOTE]
