The effect is going to be different for everyone. As for finding that your active nights are better than your non active nights, it suggests your insulin regimen may need changing for those nights off. What do you do dosage wise? (amount/time?) |
My BG is better when i'm on night shift, funny considering I do way less work on nights and I eat more usually than I do on Day shift.
I wonder, is it because I normally take my lantus dose in the evening. Thats probably it. I am fairly new with the whole insulin thing, about a year or so. Before that I was taking glyboride, metformin, and avandia. I have also gained some weight since starting insulin. So I have had to increase my dose.
Anyway, thanks alot for your input I was just curious to know if any body has had similar experiences.
