Clocks have changed

I’ve made myself get up (set an alarm) but I’m not looking forward to getting up for work tomorrow as I normally get up 5.55am, which will feel like 4.55am 😱

Now going to change my pump time - after a strong coffee!
 
It's Summer... well I would like to think so, even if the weather isn't yet playing ball.
 
I spent an hour last night explaining to the dogs what BST is and how they will have to get up an hour earlier, go for a walk an hour earlier, have all their meals an hour earlier and then go to bed an hour earlier.

I don't think they understood :rofl:
 
When I used to drive to work, I would often see a kestrel hovering above a wall. He was there most mornings. Until he wasn't.
For about a week, I worried about the bird. What had happened to him?
Then it clicked. The bird disappeared when the clocks changed. No one had told him. He was probably hovering an hour later when I was at my desk.

I forgot, but was surprised that I had slept so well!
Glad that it happens on a Saturday night each time

Ooo. Thanks Inka. I hadn’t added that in to the list of clocks to change.
 
I only have one click to change - the microwave.
Everything else is synced externally.
My pump is controlled through a phone app so, when clocks change, the pump time changes without me needing to do anything.
This is especially useful when I travel and don't have to worry about that part of diabetes.

What about BG meter which might become relevant in the unlikely event you had an accident after a hypo.
 
I only had to change the kitchen wall clock, my watch, BG meter ( which for the first time ever, I’ve actually done straight away rather than 2/3 months down the line), and of course the dreaded cooker clock! I’ve had this oven 6 years and I still don’t know how to do it and I still haven’t fathomed how to set the timer to delay cooking. My other one was a doddle. I leave it to Mr Eggy. :D Luckily, the car clock, central heating timer, phones of course, all do it automatically thank goodness.
 
didt effect me as my meter i dont worry about the time on it my phone changed automatically as does my radio signal controlled clock on my bedside table

You would have thought with all that technology in a meter it would know then the clocks change.
 
It was always a PITA with a Roche pump and matching meter/remote control remembering which one you had to do first. Lovely this morning, yawned and sat down on the loo, checked pump and of course it showed the exact time, just as my phone and hence the App, had. Lurrvely!

Yes especially when they are the fancy ones which are linked to your phone, which updates automatically.
