Hi my employer has me working constant nights with literally 1 day off a week if I'm lucky I was just wondering will this start to effect my diabetes and how
There is a working time directive.. Did you sign to work these extended hours??
It is possible to work nights.. I did for many years and like you was working a lot of weeks with 6days a week. It didn't affect my levels or care as I am so careful with the management of my diabetes..
It depends on each individual person and the type of job you are in.
Do we even know if it is extended hours? As long as the number of hours the OP is working is below 48 (I think?) then nights is just a different shift!

Are you aware that there is a working time directive for employees and you have to agree to work xx amount if hours over xx weeks?
Your health as a type 2 on nights (you don't say if you take meds) should not be detrimentally affected more than non diabetics if you manage your diabetes... However it is a known fact that nights can affect health of any human...
