How do I Handle Daylight Savings Time on the Cortisol Pump?

Handling Daylight Savings Time is incredibly easy when you are on the Cortisol Pump. All you need to do is update the time on your pump through the utility settings. There is absolutely no need for you to slowly change the time over several days. This is over complicated and completely unnecessary.

The Cortisol Pump requires a different mindset than oral steroid treatment. When replacing Cortisol through the use of oral steroids, there exists a possibility for inadequate cortisol coverage. When using a Cortisol Pump, however, there is a 24/7 infusion of cortisol. This makes Daylight Savings Time on the Cortisol Pump incredibly easy. Do not over complicate it.

Spring Forward

When you are required to “Spring Forward” and advance your clocks an hour, change the time on your Cortisol Pump at night before you go to bed.

Fall Back

When you are required to “Fall Back” and set your clocks back an hour, change the time on your Cortisol Pump in the morning when you wake up.

There is no need to over complicate Daylight Savings Time with the Cortisol Pump. Just change the time on the Cortisol Pump like you would any other clock.
