Silly question i know - but how do you all cope with the hour change? Alex normally has his levemir at 9 o clock - should i give it at 9.30 tonight and then 9 tomorrow? So confused! :confused:Bev
 
Not a silly question at all.

I am not too strict about when i take my basal insulin so won't worry about the one hour time change.
 
Hi bev, kojack's thread 'Change to BST' asks the same question. Personally, I'm just going to take my lantus at the normal times, I doubt the hour's variation is going to have much effect.
 
there was a bit of a discussion on here earlier about this and different approaches. I'll adjust by half an hour tonight and then bring it back to the ('new') normal time tomorrow. A lot of people do their basal injection an hour eitherside of the target time so often there's no need to adjust.
But I think you need to go the other way if you're doing the approach you describe and go for 830 tonight then back to 9 tomorrow... I think! The more I think on time changes the more I seem to confuse myself so maybe someone else could confirm.....?!
 
Aymes,
I think your right? I am confused - and it doesnt take much! lol. Can someone tell us? Thanks. Bev

Hi Bev - this is not Bev, it's John
Just kept myself busy altering non radio clocks, checking that I've set DST on seven computers (the ones in the loft will be done in the morning)
Watched weather data and realised it's already -2C and frosty.
Persuaded the dog to go in the garden to pee.
Darned critter - now persuaded her to go into the garden to pewk the foliage she ate after she peed.
Washed up late night soup mugs.
Completely cocked up an ebay purchase.
Oh. I forgot. Stopped worrying about clock changes and bg levels for the next 48 hours.
Time and how I feel and meter tests will sort it out.

Dreaming of buffet lunch tomorrow. Whoopee it will be here an hour sooner than I expected.

Better do a bg test and hit the sack.

Wow! It's been a great Saturday night. I'm alive and feel great for one so ancient.

Night night Bev. cyber virtual hug
