Early sunset Diabetes365 Day 29
Early on Sunday morning we changed our clocks by moving them back one hour. So this evening at work I noticed an early sunset. Now I have to get used to leaving for home in the dark.
On Saturday evening, I go around the house and change the clocks on the stove, microwave, thermostats and so on. Then I have to remember to change the clocks that are built into all my diabetes equipment. So I correct the time on my insulin pump, continuous glucose monitor and blood glucose meters (I've got a few of these for backup).
This is another way in which diabetes grabs attention and chips away at my available time. It's only an extra few minutes twice a year (plus whenever I'm traveling). But I also have to deal with my body and the change in eating time and whatever impact that may have.
It's much easier than dealing with lows but it's still annoying. And unless you live with diabetes you wouldn't even know that I ever do it.
There is no cure for diabetes.
Yet.
