Stupid I know but

With the time changing do I need to change the time of my basal jab 😳 x

I always ignore the clock change and carry on as normal. ( ie, I do mine at 1pm, so I just do it as usual at 1pm the next day despite changing the clocks) One hour's overlap/gap twice a year isn't going to cause any problems in the grand scheme of things.

Good question, I never even thought about it 🙄 I take mine at 8.30 pm, but it will be less than 24 hours when I take mine tomorrow.

Thanks Robin I just wasn't sure, I take mine at 10pm so I'll just take it at that time tonight and then the 10pm tomorrow, Tresiba I've heard is meant to be more flexible in timing anyway, not sure how true that is though x

I thought about it like 5 mins before I posted this but thought I better ask to be on the safe side haha x

I just switch over to the new time and continue as normal. As Robin said a difference of 1 hour isn't going to be a problem. I spent a good two years injecting when I got up and when I went to bed for my background insulin having never been told to do it at the same time each day. It was only when talking to another T1 and him complaining about having to take his background pen with him if he was giong to be out late, and asking him why that I got the correct information about timing of background. So having survived two years of great variety in timing of jabs I think one hour won't matter too much.

Thanks @Robin

PS
This is not at all a stupid question and it is great that you raise things like this. There will be lots of other people thinking I never thought about that. So no question is silly. Keep asking. You have no idea who else you are helping.

Great question;I hadn't even thought about it!

That's all us relatively newbies that haven't went through the clock change haha, they should inform us of this kind of thing lol so sorry other relatively newbies if I caused any panic or concern haha 🙂 x

Like Sue says - no such thing as a stupid question here!

TBH - the amount of time any basal insulin lasts is variable - and will be different for each of us anyway - like most other things D related are - so it simply isn't critical. Not like - eg if you need to take it anyway and not for diabetes - Warfarin - which is MEGA time sensitive and it's a PITA.
