I don't have much trouble, but that's a great question and made me think about it. Can[t wait to see more answers....

This is only my third time change since I started pumping and I have not noticed any difference after time change. Our bodies are remarkable machines that seem to adjust to almost everything.

No change. It is only an hour. I have done it many times with no issues.

I got good news and I got bad news. The "good news", you don't do those "pesky" time changes. The "bad news", you still live in AZ.

I was at 300 this morning...my normal fasting blood sugar is 85. So I guess I'll just keep the time on my pump the same until my schedule seems to fall more in line...for today, I'm all over the place.

Its like this. Most parts of the country have 3-5 months of great weather, we have 9-10. Also, you can drive 2 1/2 hours north and ski if you want, 5 hours from LA, 3 hours from the beach in Mexico. Culturally very diverse also. Oh and the sunsets are almost postcard quality every night
