After I’ve had my coffee or before lunch
I update the time myself, but sometimes it takes a few days til I remember to do it.
Choices you give are basically doing it compulsively or forgetting. How about, what’s the rush, I’ll do it in the morning.
I hoping my internet phone and computer reset automatically, as well as the Freestyle Libre reader and Jitterbug Flip phone. But the clocks in the house are the hand resets and so is my older car. I just heard on the news that a lot of people prefer to stay on daylight savings time and not change the clocks, I would vote for that because being a type 1 diabetic, biorhythms are thrown off for awhile.
Anybody miss glu? I liked being able to easily see prior questions. I liked being able to give a heart or a thumbs up to a reply. I liked being able to reply specifically to one answer. I’m sure I’m missing where I can set all of that up, but sometimes progress isn’t progress. I agree with: I do it when I remember which is usually when I am setting all my non-electric clocks over in my house (yes…I still have some that are digital.
If my devices update automatically, they get done. If they don’t, they don’t usually get done. I’ll be back in sync when the next time change happens. And yes, I miss the old glu formats. I couldn’t go back in and correct a mistake the other day. It is also difficult to not be able to like or reply to comments others make.
The tech at the doctor’s office gets frustrated and updates it.
Newly type 1 this is something had not realized had to address. Thanks for enlightening me 😄 who knew diabetes would be so much work!
I’ll either do it before going to bed tomorrow or after coffee Sunday morning. All of the clocks that have to be manually set…wall clocks, microwave, coffee maker, alarm clocks…will be slightly off one way or the other. It’s an annoying task that’s no longer necessary.
I will update when I get an email reminder from my pump manufacturer.
I update because Sheryl makes me, and reminds me often until i get it done. Hey she is tough
I usually remember to update my meter after breakfast or lunch, so my first couple records will have the wrong time stamp. I’ve never had a pump before now; I’m not sure if it will update on its own or not.
I usually think of it before dinner the next day.
“Daylight Savings Time” or rather change from British Summer Time (BST to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) happened last weekend for me. I did NOT remember to change the time on the two clocks in my room, nor my pump. Blessed Samhain (Hallowe’en, for my Christian brothers and sisters) for tomorrow. 😉
I stay up until the time change and update my devices (and change my basal rates) when the time shifts.
I usually remember to get everything to the right time within a day or two.
Thanks for the reminder! 😉
I reset all my devices the next day, saying all the bad words I know… not out loud !!
I try to change the time at bedtime.
I reset the time features in my diabetes devices on the day/night of the change but it screws up up my biorhythm for the next 48 to 72 hours depending on whether it’s Fall behind or Spring forward. Agh!!! I wish for daylight savings time to be dissolved and done away with completely.
Hmmm… I just corrected mine a few months ago for the LAST time change. Except for the differing BASALs the actual time zones have a limited effect since my meals fit in around my work schedules, but I can see how an hour difference can effect the differing BASAL patterns. Along with the “old fashioned” clocks one more thing to walk around the shack for.
I answered this one incorrectly. I thought my pump automatically adjusted the time, but today on my phone saw an alert that said the pump and sensor’s time were off. Nice reminder to adjust my pump.
