Clocks changing

Don't forget everyone to remember to change the time on your BG meters and readers/scanners.

As stated by others an hour makes no appreciable difference so take your basal when convenient to you. I always inject mine when I wake up and before I get out of bed. That can vary by a couple of hours sometimes if I have a very early start or a lie in.

Did wonder if it made a difference, ment to ask at hospital. Not had a ling lie since diagnosed, take mine at 7 so always get up. My sensor needs changed usually change at 7 will have to be 6 tomorrow
 
I quite often have a ~3h swing in the time I do my morning basal doses between weekend and weekdays, and in the evenings it might be ~2h depending on whether I remember to look at my phone for the reminder before I go to bed - I don't notice any difference in performance amongst the other noise factors.

Oddly, had just this conversation with my wife. Just a battery clock on the wall. Her car & my meter. Meter & clock just done. Phone & watch do it by “dark magic.”

I don’t need to as I didn’t change it in the spring so back to the right time now! Im hopeless! :rofl:
 
As told to me on my DAFNE course. Rise and retire, ( I use Levemir morning and evening) as long as there’s at least seven hours between.

Kitchen clock, my watch and the cooker clock to change manually. The latter is a nightmare, had this cooker 7 years and I still have to get the instruction booklet out! The car does it by magic, thank goodness.
 
Ah yes the annual struggle with the things that don’t do it automatically, and the stubbornness of just leaving some things an hour out until the clocks change back!
 
It doesn't matter to my body what any clock says, my alarm wakes me at 7 and my brain usually wakes me at about 6.45 in anticipation. I was fully awake at 5.45 this morning needing my normal perambulation to the bathroom.

Our oven relentlessly flashes twelve from the day I installed it? I had a JVC stereo in my old vehicle that would change the time after a little while tuned to FM. With TA turned on?

My old car used to change the clock itself, as long as you had the stereo on and tuned to a station that supports RDS, I think it picked it up from the radio time signal. Even if you weren’t actually listening to the radio and were playing a CD instead!

Now have a newer car that was my husband’s company car, it’s low mileage because he hardly went anywhere in it for 2 or 3 years during covid, so has bought it off the company for me. It’s hybrid, with all electronic displays and controls and I’ve nicknamed it “The Starship” because the inside of it looks like the control room of the Starship Enterprise compared to any other car I’ve ever had. But apparently I’ll have to manually change the clock!

I found the last time I stayed in Calais. My phone switched to UK time the closer I got to the coast line. Then back to local going inland. Confusing my watch also.

Often see people saying they leave meter and don’t change the time on it, but remember if you drive and would use that meter as evidence following a crash to prove you checked (eg if sensor said hypo and finger said no all fine), then it may make the conversation easier if the meter has the right time
 
Well all of my clocks/meters/readers have now been changed including the cooker and the microwave and new batteries in my spare meter in the car.
 
I must try to remember my BG meters this time. Especially my spares.They are always the ones that get away!
