  Are you using any of the following continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) systems?
  I love the Guardian G4! I am in range 96 to 98% of the time. It is so accurate. I do spot checks with my bg meter and they’re always within 2-5 pts of each other.

  I'm on Eversense E3. One thing that I like (although, I appreciate that others do not like this) is that I calibrate it once a day so that it learns about me and stays in range. It's going to a yearly sensor next year which will be awesome for me. :)

  I am thinking of going back to the G6. The G7 doesn’t seem to be accurate and this causes issues when using Tandem X2 Control IQ.

  I upgraded from the G6 to the G7. I also upgraded my pump from a Medtronic 630(horrid pump) to the Tandem Slim with the lopping system. In this period my G7 has read me at a low of 40-50 and stops giving me insulin to counteract the low, when actually I’m in the very high range. The first time I went to er because it showed I was low and I couldn’t get it up. At the hospital I tested at 799. Spent the night. It’s done it a second time but I know to use my old glucometer. Dexcom hasn’t been too interested in this problem.

  Do you have any special plans during National Diabetes Awareness Month this November?
  I am running 100 miles during the month of November to celebrate my physical fitness at 66 years of age and living with T1D!

  I am similar. Use Omni 5 some of the time and DIY loop other times. It's economics. My Omnipod 5 is too expensive on my insurance plan.

  Using OmniPod 5 now because I love being tubeless. Once tandem is tubeless I will switch back to that system.

  I not only love the idea of a "Dead Pancreas Society,” I cannot wait to buy a shirt or sweatshirt and wear one to my next in-person endocrinology visit. (Most are zoom visits.) 😋👻😋

  On average, how many correction boluses (with a syringe, pen, or pump) do you give in a day?
  I’m on the 780g now, so it takes care of things. So the last 24hrs I’ve been 99% TIR. With that, it’s done some micro boluses, but every day will be different depending what I ate, and how closely the carb count was

  2-3. I think I've gotten in the habit of giving it a little preventative push when I see my post-prandial getting up there and relying on my C:IQ to drop my basal later if necessary. So I don't know if that's a "correction," in the standard sense, but it seems to work pretty well. Just saw my endo last week and I had 99% TIR and a 5.6 AIC.

  I always celebrate World Diabetes Day November 14. It's my birthday. This year, I got a 5.6 A1C for my birthday, well actually my endo appointment was the day before, but that counts. Lowest I've ever had since dx in 1983. I finally got to normal! Only took 41 years.

  Have you updated your T1D devices to reflect daylight savings time?
  Tandem's software starts to complain if my pump and phone have times that are more than a minute different.

  If you’ve had extra supplies from a device that you no longer use, what did you do with them? (Check all that apply)
  Insulin Pumpers does a great job of distribing extra or unused supplies.

  Have donated to insulinpumpers in the past, but ended up throwing away some for my old pump recently which were past their use/by date. Had kept my old pump as a back up, but, in 4 1/2 years, never actually used it that way.
