Be sure to check your blood sugar level often, it’s especially important when working an overnight shift. I had the opportunity to work last night and figured my sugar wasn’t going to be a great morning number, at least I thought so. When testing my blood glucose at around 7am it was 105 mg/dl. That was with snacking on a few goodies throughout the work night. Of course the good result doesn’t mean not to test yourself often, it’s just that I was working and essentially exercising. Remember, any type of exercise is good for you! Whether your in the gym, playing sports, walking, running or physically working.
