Day Light Savings

[Tara and Austin (Aussie)]

How does everyone handle day light savings? An hour ahead or an hour behind on the clock- doesn't really matter to the cat's body!
I was thinking about moving the dose in increments of 15 minutes a day in preparation. Any thoughts/experience/advice?

Thanks!

That is wonderful if you can do the increment thing. I just bite the bullet and make everyone, dog and cat, do the instant adjustment just like I have to do! Of course, the animals complain for about a week or so!

depends on the insulin, but in lantus we think it's okay to move the shot time by 15 minutes each shot. good thinking--usually it takes me by surprise.

when is daylight savings time? We adjusted mochas lantus by 15 mins the last time ... seemed to work for us ...

I think its the first Sunday of November for the US. In this case November 7th. I could be wrong though.
I figure Halloween can be my "reminder" date and I'll get started then.

I hadn't thought about that it's great you brought it up! That is a problem I'll have to consider, thanks.

Usually do it by 15 minutes or so gradually over a few days.
