      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.

      Is there a formula for how much more insulin to take when getting a steroid shot?

      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.

      This sounds like a market research query. Is there remuneration involved? Raises some questions for me about what these daily queries are being used for. Fine if just to generate engagement, but if the data are used for commercial purposes, or even just research, it would be appropriate to have a disclaimer to that effect. Maybe it’s on the site somewhere and I’ve missed it?

      Just started using recently after transitioning from pump to mdi. It’s great for monitoring iob and total usage automatically.

      William raises an excellent question. I did answer that I’ve never heard of this insulin pen, but I do wonder why some of these questions are being asked and what the resulting data is used for.

      Agree with the others about the questions. Wish we could ask what may seem like dumb questions but might help others. Like how much insulin does it take to cover my morning coffee? There are no carbs involved yet it definitely has an effect on my numbers.

      I have been on MDI for years and have used the InPen for at least the last three. I LOVE it and would recommend that anyone on MDI check into it.

      Slightly familiar only because I have seen it demonstrated at diabetes conferences or trade shows. Have not used one.

      I use the In Pen and love it. It logs how much insulin is given at different parts of the day (among other things) and I often forget how much and what time. It is nice to see the differences from day to day. It has a great app that produces helpful graphs of insulin usage. In Pen is a great tool for analysis.

      Slightly. I haven’t been on MDI in over 30 years, but I try to stay up on all new technology happening in the diabetes world.

      I started using it last year and love it! I am using it for my fiasp and its great to see how much insulin I have on board and if I have taken insulin. Sometimes I’m forgetting if I gave a dose and can confirm that I have.

      I did a brief search on the InPen, but didn’t learn enough to feel comfortable changing to it from my pump and cgm. If my current devices become too expensive, I might have to seriously consider switching to the InPen. I’d like to know more about it.
