Control of type 1 diabetes mellitus and shift work

Abstract: Background People with type 1 diabetes may find diabetic control more difficult when working shifts. AimsTo investigate the proportion of people with type 1 diabetes in employment undertaking shift work and diabetic control as assessed by glycosylated haemoglobin (HbA1c) among individuals undertaking shift work compared to those not doing so. MethodsA postal questionnaire sent to all those aged 16-65 attending two city hospitals for type 1 diabetes care. HbA1c results were used to assess diabetic control. Resu… Show more

“…In this study, despite a significant reduction in HbA 1c value, only a minority of patients achieved HbA 1c level < 7.0% (53.0 mmol/mol) recommended by ADA . It is, unfortunately, in line with the results of many other studies conducted in a real‐life setting . The fear of hypoglycaemia is probably the most relevant factor limiting glycaemic management in diabetes .…”

“…These results were robust when adjusted for selection differences between the standard and the nonstandard shift workers. Our findings are consistent with existing literature on the detrimental health effects of nonstandard work schedules (Lin et al, ; Srivastava, ; Young et al, ).…”

“…Empirical studies have found that there are negative health consequences of nonstandard work schedules. Compared with standard daytime workers, employees working nonstandard hours are more likely to have health problems, for example stress (Bara & Arber, ), depression (Rosenbaum & Morett, ), negative mood (Gassman‐Pines, 2011), diabetes (Young, Waclawski, Young, & Spencer, ), and metabolic syndrome (Lin, Hsiao, & Chen, ). However, the findings have not always been consistent across studies (Figueiro & White, ; Vogel et al, ).…”

“…For example, while sleep efficiency was found to be lower in children with T1D compared with control children, hypoglycaemia during sleep significantly increased sleep efficiency (Pillar et al ., ). Limited data in T1D suggested that sleep disturbances, including short sleep duration (Borel et al ., ; Matejko et al ., ), sleeping difficulties (Bot et al ., ), OSA (Perfect et al ., ) and shift‐work (Young et al ., ), may play a role in glycaemic control but not consistently (van Dijk et al ., ).…”
