Daylight savings dosing mess up!

You see the entire time between 2-3am missing? I dose 20ml of both parts per day.

This morning the display showed that I dosed 16.4 ml of alk and 20 of calcium.

The entire missing hour missed 3.6ml of my alk dosing

The apex program did not incorporate the missing hour into dosing my 2part and it dosed less due to the missing hour

I set the alk dosing for 12am-6am.

Right.... because there is one less hour in the day. Today has 23 hours, not 24.

Haha dont worry bud im in the same boat, i was goin nuts last night because i had the dos for the end of daylight savings (nov 8th) and i got double dosed in that hour

Let's illustrate this a different way.
Imagine we stayed up late to dose manually and you want to dose 0.9ml every 15 minutes.
At 1:30am you start a stopwatch and every 15 minutes you dose 0.9ml.
Every time you dose, I look at the clock on my iPhone and write down that you dosed 0.9ml at xx:xx time.
When we're done, you will have dosed every 15 minutes, but my log will show a gap between 2am and 3am because the clock changed.
In the Fall if we did the same exercise I would be showing 2am-3am twice in my logs.

Say I started recording a code at 0153 and it lasted 15 minutes. The end time was not 0208, but 0308. 0208 only exists in the Twilight Zone on that night. If my IV pump was running at 1 ml/hr, for that day, there would only be 23 mls infused....

EDIT: Answered my own question.

@Lionfish Lair The dos spreads out the dosing depending on the amount of time allocated and the amount dosed. I set it for 20 ml dosed between 12am-6am. Because of the 1 missing hour of 4 doses of .9ml it dosed 16.4ml instead of 20
@don_chuwish
See photo bc of the missing hour alk dosing is only 16.4 when it should be 20ml. Am I missing something?

That certainly makes some difference to how I understood the scenario - but fact of the matter is we lost an hour, so you lose that much dosing. Not sure there's any way around that, they would have to increase the pace of dosing for just that time period, which may result in complaints about THAT. In Fall the opposite scenario would play out, needing to slow the pace.
