Clocks changing

[s'nic]

My car clock never changes - I'm either hopping in to go somewhere, or hopping out to a shop, or wanting to get in the house and sit down.
But hey, it's right approx 50% of the year, 50% isn't that bad is it? 😎

All my clocks except the microwave change themselves, including the car.
My finger prick meter has always been on its own time zone. As I never compare those readings with anything apart from my CGM at the moment I prick my finger, have never needed to change it. If I did, I would be scouring the internet for the manual.

However, my internal clock completely failed to reset. By 10:30, I had made split pea soup, bread and biscuits.

needing my normal perambulation to the bathroom.

Sounds so much nicer when described as a perambulation.

Thanks for the reminder to change the time on my pump.
It would have taken a few days otherwise!!!

A stopped clock tells exactly the right time twice a day, and all that

A clock that always shows GMT (or BST, GMT+1) isn't useless.

What about fingerpricks before driving for DVLA? If sensor gives a false hypo or you have an actual hypo and need to fingerprick after. Don’t you want meter on the right time zone for that?

Still haven’t plucked up the courage to change the cooker clock. Maybe today. 🙄

Go for it. Had a friend visit yesterday to help move some heavy furniture and he was dreading changing his oven clock too. Thought it was due this coming weekend so no hurry

My daughter has been using her new pump for a couple of months now, and I reminded her to change the clock in it. When she did so she discovered that the date was completely wrong, it thought it was March No idea how that happened, or maybe she just forgot to set the date in the first place! (I have virtually nothing to do with it any more, since she went onto T-Slim she does everything herself). Might explain why only the Dexcom data and not the pump data came through when it was uploaded at the last hospital checkup 😳

Thank you all for reminding me the added value (less hassle) for my pump and CGM phone app. I have no need to change times during daylight saving and travel. Although it took me a while to work out the weird double line on my CGM graph in the early hours of Sunday morning.

Done it! Thank goodness it’s only every six months, think I might need a new cooker in a couple of years! 😛

I assume your cooker is a large clock and not something you would use for something like cooking?

Just been to do my shopping, and spent several minutes in the supermarket car park reading the car handbook trying to work out how to change the time. The handbook was utterly confusing so I gave up in the end and just used my brain, went into the menus and found it straight away. It picks the time up from the GPS, it’s already set which time zone I’m in and then there’s a tick box for Summer Time which is now unticked. Easy peasy. Still makes me laugh though, that a 2010 very basic Vauxhall Astra can change the time by itself, but a much newer vehicle with all mod cons can’t

I’ve changed them all except my sundial and Stonehenge. Need the heavy lifting tools for those

Stonehenge? Does that make you a Druid?

No, I’m a rockstar 😉

And Stonehenge preceded the Druids by a couple of thousand years, plus a bit more.

Son said he did his cooker clock yesterday @eggyg, by pressing random buttons til it worked (he’s a Chassis Engineer in the motor industry, I hope he doesn’t treat the cars the same way). Then they had a power cut overnight, (probably caused by too many people trying to change their cooker clocks) and he’s got to remember which random buttons he pressed in which random order to do it all over again.

I read somewhere they think it was initially made of wood? “Pile driven” into the ground? Then redeveloped. A giant granite birthday cake. Or a prison far too easy to escape?
