Slow insulin and workplace of work

Hello.My partner has started working at night and since it started you do not get the stability she had in her glycemia.Before this work, 2 units was put at night and in the morning and the rapid insulin at meals, it was great had a gyted of 5.1.Well, since he has started working at night, everything has been out of control.The days that work at night gets slowly in the morning at bedtime at 7 units and in the afternoon before going to work at 20.00 the other 2 units.It works 5 days at night and 2 pound the days that Libra puts the slow as usual and the days that work in that way, because when it comes from working and ready to sleep it arrives with 200. The food was greatly taken care of and it does a lot of sport.He does not know how to put the slow one with this work shift .... Please, I would appreciate them to help us.

Hi @Maryrg1991, a treatment with two slow doses is more complicated to adjust than with the new insulins that last 24 hours.
But if you do not want insulin change, you will have to increase the dose of the night, if you reach 200 in the morning., The days you work. It can increase the slow unit, to get home well.
The other dose depends on how it wakes
Playing with two doses of slow complicates control, because there may be overlapping, although it can be controlled.
It will be more than another more current slow insulin, when the endocrine is advised.

Take into account the hormonal factor.With the night shift and not sleep at the right time you can shoot the hormonal levels that then face with that 200.

Try to correct it with insulin but if you can not be alarmed either.

I carry with diabetes almost 20 years and have 200 at specific times is not bad.

A 5.1 glyc is a value of non -diabetic person so it is great.

The best would be to change slow insulin.Why put two punctures being able to avoid one?You have threeiba, Toujeo ... that he will tell his doctor, will facilitate his day by day.
