Time changes!

Well I've just returned from a great holiday in Gran Canaria- there is no time change there so meds weren't a problem .... BUT it started me thinking if I were to go further afield with a greater time change how would I manage??

Just wondered what everyone else does?? Take meds in middle of night if necessary???

Hello Sweety! Ooh a holiday...that would be nice at the moment. Lucky you, hope you had a good time 😜 Well, Ive been both forward and back through GMT over the years. My logic has always been sticking to the same time as at home. I discussed it with my consultant years ago and he agreed that it was thr best method. It may will mean a gap, bit its not long enough to be an issue (who hasn't missed a dose before/been in the wrong place to take your meds) and doesnt mess up your normal routine.

Had a great time thank you - the dunes are as hot as ever!!

Yes I thought pretty much the same but will have to have a think, if I went to New York for example I'd be eating and taking meds at 4am! So maybe going easy would work better.... have to see but thanks for the advice,

Let me clarify that...

I take my 'pill' at 11 each night. When away I also take it at 11 wherever I happen to be.

The dunes? Dirty, girl 🤣
