Spring Forward.
Fall Back.
It’s that time of year to change clocks. Did you also remember to swap out the batteries in your home’s smoke and carbon monoxide detectors?
What about all your D-tech?
Don’t forget to change the time in your blood glucose meters, blood ketone meters, insulin pump, and CGM.
What about the timing of long-acting insulin?
Long-acting insulin should be taken within 30 minutes of the regular time each day. When we were on MDI, we took about a week to transition to the new time, changing it by 15 minutes every couple of days.
Ask your medical team how you should handle the time change with regards to injection schedules and basal rates.
