Well Carmen I finally found my way back here too. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions. I'm starting a new job I will be working 11PM-7Am. I used to work this shift about 15years ago but back then I was not diabetic. I only take Actos so I don't have to worry about insulin and stuff but I was wondering if I need to adjust anything because of my backward schedule.

Hey Snoopy, good to have you back here, as far as the diabetes meds, I would just have to say adjusting the schedule of when you take them might be the only thing, I was working the 3 to 11 shift for a while when I first started this job i have now, getting the body to kick over into second shift and the meds adjusted about killed me..lol.. I have bipolar as well as the diabetes and a few others.

Congrats on the job, and I hope it works out well for you.
