      Have you ever been told you couldn’t physically do something because you live with diabetes?
      Long time ago - told there were certain occupations I would not be allowed to do because if T1D. Pilot, air traffic controller, military, etc.

      Oh my goodness… yes! As a child I was often reminded of my limitations because of diabetes. I’m hopeful that those misconceptions about T1D have changed over the decades.

      YES, DONATE PLASMA for the production of IGG. My wife is immune compromised with CVID. I was extremely disappointed when the technical support nurse basically said No you’re on insulin and it’s not filtered out during the washing process.

      Maybe not a physical restriction, but decades ago I was told I was ineligible to get a pilot’s license.

      Yes. It had to do with a job that required me to drive delivery vans to clean and park them on the company's lot.

      Being at high risk for dementia (both genetic and behavioral) and at an advanced age while still making very complex decisions about pump, CGM, and data issues Phew! What a premise! Is the optimal strategy for T1D management most likely to be MDI by caregivers in assisted living?

      It's rare I have questions, but if I do, I send a message to my Endocrinologist, and she responds quickly.

    Have you ever used a connected insulin pen? Also known as a “smart pen,” connected insulin pens can offer extra technology with the simplicity of injections, like tracking the timing and dose of insulin, tracking insulin-on-board, and calculating insulin doses based on carbohydrate entries.

      Besides the first three giving ways listed, I like to educate others of the medical conditions that I am aware of and the infinite ways they can impact a life. Until almost twenty I was blissfully ignorant of most health concerns and the need for research.

      I believe it was Muhammad Ali that said, “Giving is the rent you pay for service on earth.”

      Local food charities with low expense ratios are personal favorites.

      Not specifically for GivingTuesday, but I have loved giving blood & platelets as much as possible ever since I learned that diabetics were eligible to do so.

      My “other” is that I also purchase items directly from the organizations.
