BLANCO ALVAREZ, Laura María et al. Type 1 diabetes mellitus and night work: a case report. Rev Asoc Esp Espec Med Trab [online]. 2019, vol.28, n.2, pp.144-148. Epub 14-Out-2019. ISSN 3020-1160.
We describe the case of a 24-year-old woman, an resident medical intern in an accredited hospital, diagnosed with Type I Diabetes Mellitus under treatment with subcutaneous insulin infusion therapy, with a glycosylated hemoglobin of 7.5%. From the Occupational Health service, a valuation was requested by the Endocrinology service, which informs that from the medical point of view there is no contraindication for the performance of night shifts (24-hour medical guards) due to good control of the disease, absence of complications and the excellent knowledge on the part of the patient of her illness and the self-control of it. Therefore, the worker’s aptitude is issued with periodic checks. Reviewing the bibliography, it should be noted that diabetes and night work are not always incompatible and that good judgment and individualization of each case should always prevail.
