If you live in an area on DST, remember to adjust your pump’s time settings to “fall back” 1 hour. Happy Hallowe’en! 🎃

In addition to clock on pump, don’t forget to update meter(s) and smart pens. And while we’re at it, the bi-annual lancet change 🤣

I know to change the clock on my pump, but do I need to move back the hourly profile basal settings, too?

also, **does anyone have temporary goofy BGs during the beginning of daylight savings time?**

No, changing the time on your pump makes the hourly profile correct for the new time.

If you changed both, your basal profile would be off!
