Yes, a day late but I did eventually remember pump and glucometer. Going from Medtronic to Tandem T-slim and Dexcom G7 next week. I hope things go smoothly. Taking a trip in May and I wanted a close loop system and not as many finger sticks for that.
Tandem/Dex G7 are not a closed loop system. They are a hybrid system, only Lowers Glucose. Closed loop means Raising and Lowering glucose and that is only done by a normal body.
I selected “No, but I need to” but that’s because I live in the UK (United Kingdom of Great and Britain and Northern Ireland) and our BST (British Summer Time) doesn’t start until Sunday, 31st March 2024.
Of course I did! When my hands are busy in art materials, my pump tells me what the time is.
Yes, I changed my pump time but forgot to change the time on the car and was confused for a couple of days!
I didn’t update this time because I failed to last fall and it is now correct again. Normally I do change it each spring and fall.
Yes, I did. It would be too confusing not to.
They automatically updated the time. I really didn’t have to do anything.
My Dexcom does it automatically.

As I use them for my watch, yes!
I don’t like to have to do math when I look at clocks. ;p 😀
Updated the pump, along with a slew of clocks, cars included.
The two states that do not change their times are Hawaii and Arizona, and I live in AZ.

Or Hawaii.
