      How often do people confuse type 1 and type 2 diabetes in your experience?
      There are several conversations about this across social media. Many people chime in and vote for a new, more accurate name for type 1.. some of the popular alternatives- Pancreatic Autoimmune Disease, Beta Cell Destruction Disease, Autoimmune Diabetes, Autoimmune Insulin Failure, Autoimmune Absolute Insulin Deficiency (AAID)

      In my experience people have heard of Type 2 Diabetes so if I say Type 1 that makes sense in that if there is a Type 2 there must be a Type 1 also. That is the extent of their understanding. In healthcare there is a bigger failure where "diabetes" or "type 2 diabetes" is used as a shorthand of a set of conditions often seen together. See any research paper by any cardiologist ever. This lack of precision leads to incorrect risk evaluations and incorrect treatment of people with diabetes caused by other factors including autoimmune aka Type 1.

      The most common comment: but you aren’t heavy. That’s when we get into the differences. A relative tried to tell me that insulin makes you lose weight. But when we last discussed this, one of you said it best: if it isn’t in their circle of experience, why would they know or care?

      In my experience the average person does not know the difference. It does not help that the commercials on TV just say diabetes and do not differentiate.

      How satisfied are you with your current insulin pump brand/model?
      Somewhat satisfied with TSlimX2. Not because of pump shortcomings, but because of the sheer insanity of trying to get routine supplies through the American health care system. My current situation, to wit: "I am experiencing extreme frustration with Medicare that, 1) has an inoperable website, and 2) has an inoperable AI phone answering service. Consequently, I can no longer acquire needed supplies to operate the tSlimX2, particularly the T:Lock TruSteel 8mm 32.” This situation has persisted for 2 months. 😬

      If I could get a CGM that is consistent and predictable I'd be very happy with the Twiist or the Tandem. The weak point with pumps used to be infusion sites, but now that we are relying on poor performing technology to support potentially great algorithms itis quite frustrating.

      How satisfied are you with your current insulin pump brand/model?
      My first reaction was Very Satisfied but there is always room for improvement. I’d like a pump design that wasn’t meant to be worn on a belt just for men. To wear a dress, I have to only get those with pockets (and on both sides because opposite sides cause the CGM to lose contact) and put a button whole in each. The clip shows horribly on blouses worn out. I’ve tried the leg attachments and they never stay secure. I’m not big enough to wear it in my bra. All minor inconveniences. I’d like one that doesn’t keep alarming 20 minutes after I’ve eaten, although I get it that it is there to save my life. Again minor. Ask about CGMs (probably tomorrow’s question): lately I’ve had trouble removing the sensor from my arm without actually ripping off a strip of skin or very bad bruising. I’ve read about using baby oil for removal. That does help. I’m a rip it off fast person, but that didn’t work so well.

      Have you had a Coronary Artery Calcium (CAC) Scan? (The American Diabetes Association suggests this imaging tool, depending on age and years with T1D, to assess heart risk by measuring calcium buildup in your arteries.)
      Yes, I had one done and the results were very high in the upper 400s. I have my wonderful cardiologist to thank for recommending it as even after a normal stress test that was still somewhat suspicious. He thought further testing was advisable due to my 65 years of diabetes. The complaints that I had been having for years were not terribly specific, but just overall being way more exhausted than I thought I should be for my age and a bit of shortness of breath, but no chest pain. My doctors had been just saying that I was probably out of shape and that was what was causing the symptoms but this doctor really was proactive. This test shows calcium buildup, of course, in the arteries which is somewhat different than fatty plaque buildup in the arteries that can only be seen at the Cath Lab. My next step was to go to the Cath Lab where they found four major blockages in my heart and thank goodness we found them. I eventually ended up having four stents put in during two additional procedures. The last one was very stubborn because of the amount of calcium and I had to go to the university of Washington where they were able to do a procedure to drill the calcium out of the artery before they could get in there to place the stent. Heart disease is a very real concern for those of us with long-term diabetes, and although I am a retired dietitian and have always eaten an excellent diet with yearly lipid panel results looking excellent this still happened. The procedure took less than an hour and they do put an iodine die in your vein to make everything easier to see. My Medicare Advantage Plan paid for it except for my copayment which I believe was around $300 which is similar to what I have to pay for things like an MRI. The doctor does have to justify this test by certain symptoms and other previous test results.

      I have, and I do show calcium build up and hardening of the arteries. No action has been taken yet at this time. However, I am taking Repatha for better control of my cholesterol and it has been working great.

      After 16 stents and a new aortic valve, I've had every scan imaginable and she just keeps on tickin'.

      Just googled it and most insurance plans including basic Medicare do not cover it. Said cost ranges $100-400 with out-of-pocket being $100-150 (although I don’t understand that if not covered by insurance).

      On average, how often do you adjust insulin based on CGM trend arrows rather than your current glucose number alone?
      This is a good question! but it does lead to so many other questions.

      I think the “Juicebox” podcast is superior for everyday control…once you accept that parents of children predominantly makeup most of the folks on it. But the steps for improving control are the same no matter the age. There are adults diagnosed for decades: some with complications, some with personal concerns, and includes professionals from the diabetic support community (Tandem, Inslet, Lilly…), educators, therapists, doctors, and celebrates.

      Also listen to “Diabetes Connections,” while mentioning some steps for control is excellent for information in the field with various guests.

      As many have already mentioned, I love the Juicebox Podcast and have gotten lots of great ideas from listening. I also like Diabetes Connections and the TCOYD Podcast. Both Juicebox and Diabetes Connections are hosted by parents of TID children and a lot of the people on it are also parents/caregivers but the TCOYD podcast is hosted by two endocrinologists who also have T1D themselves.

      Yes. Juicebox podcast and Stacey Simms podcast. Scott (Juicebox) has a daughter that has T1D that he helps manage. Sometimes his discussions that get a little sidetracked, but for the most part provides very good info. My A1C has fallen into the upper 5’s since I have started listening to him (2+ years ago). He also has a licensed endo (Jenny Smyth, RDN, LD, CDCES) that is also on the show to support diabetic topics.

      Not a tech person, always far prefer written pages. William Pollanky (the Behavioral Diabetes Institute Director) anytime someone can get him on their podcasts is always good stuff. Elliott LeBow (out of NYC) the same. Like Mark Heyman (the Diabetes Psychologist) podcasts equally well and he does regular podcasts and some specialty stuff too. Hoping more evolve and gain serious traction. The generic diabetes (common stuff) are all over, the mental or psychological podcasts re: D exclusively are far too rare. MORE, more….!!!
