Abstract
Abstract Oral temperature, heart rate, feeling state, hunger, and urinary glucose levels were studied in a diabetic woman, age 51, employed on 23:00 to 07:30h shift work for the past three years. A shift of body temperature and heart rate were noted, with elevated periods occurring during early morning hours and decreasing throughout the morning and early evening. Decrease in feelings of well‐being and increases in hunger co‐incided with decreased body temperatures and heart rates. Negative urinary glucose levels paralleled lower temperatures and heart rates. These data provided the basis for the alteration in the daily administration of isophane insulin suspension (NPH) from 08:00h to administration at 16:00h on Monday through Friday and to 10:00h on Saturday and Sunday.
