  At T1D Exchange, we work to improve the lives of people with T1D through research. If you could ask a T1D scientist anything about research, what questions would you want answered? Share in the comments, and your question may be featured in an upcoming article!
  Why aren't there more studies on heart disease risk with only T1Ds? I have read peer reviewed medical articles that confirm that T1Ds were not studied exclusively in statin research. We were advised to be treated with statins even if our cholesterol was excellent and there were no other risk factors. I suffered from elevated A1c, weight gain, insulin resistance, extremely low cholesterol which led to vitamin D deficiency which caused respiratory problems and inability to exercise or enjoy leisure activities due to breathlessness and muscle pain. Doctors believed that any symptoms reported by patients were due to the "Nocebo effect" despite my improvement when I didn't take statins for six months when I forgot to refill my prescription! I suffered these side effects from 2002-2016 when I finally found a doctor who took me seriously. We need to be treated as individuals with T1D, not treated based on studies on the majority of T2 studies.

  At the time of your T1D diagnosis, did you already personally know anyone who had T1D?
  Yes, my dad had T1. My diagnosi made him and my mom so sad. I tried hard to make it no big deal so they wouldn’t worry.
