Hello everybody. I need some suggestions. In 10 days I'm going to California & Mexico and I use an insulin pump. Between California & UK there's a time difference of 8 hours.
The question I have is when should I change the time in the pump? When I arrive ( afternoon in USA but night in UK ), the morning after or when?
I spoke to the consultant and Gp but they would act differently. Has anyone travelled with a pump to a very different time zone and what has he/she done?
It is quite important for me as my basal needs tend to reduce drastically in the late afternoon and evening (almost 70%) so I need to understand how my brain will react due to jet lag. Any suggestion really appreciated. Thanks. Stefano
