      How important is diabetes research to you?
      Strange question—all insulin development, medical devices — e.g. CGMS, pumps, etc are all research products. Would I rather go back to the starvation diet I was given and pills that didn’t work?

      How important is diabetes research to you?
      Diabetes research is why I'm still alive and healthy. Research is how we have CGMs and pumps that can modify doses based on CGM data. Current insulins are much better than previous versions, Even test strips are wildly more consistently accurate than when I was diagnosed in the 1990s. Personally the improvements to diabetes care made based on research have made a bigger impact on my life than medications and devices. Doctors were presented with evidence showing threatening patients leads to worse outcomes and doctors changed their behavior.

      I answered “very important,” but it very much depends on what the research is about. Genetic likelihood for family members? Not important for me. Possible stem cell treatment to regenerate a functioning pancreas? Extremely important. Possible connection between frequency of T1D low or high bg episodes and dementia? Extremely important! Impacts of different types of regular exercise on long term T1D management success? Very important. Etc.

      All we are doing is treating the symptoms. We need a cure that doesn't require anti rejection inections.

      Over the last 35 years, acure has been promised in 5 to 10 years. What is a real answer?

      Due to age, etc, it probably won't benefit me personally but it's extremely important for the future! After all, isn't T1D going to be cured within 5 - 10 years? ;)

      I think access to healthcare - especially for those things we need to thrive (i.e. insulin, CGM's, pumps). I fear that things will go back to the pre-ACA days where people with pre-existing conditions can be refused coverage. Since the things we need (listed above) are Rx items and very expensive for paying out of pocket at retail prices, it will become close to impossible for us to live - not to mention thrive.

      In addition, to all the choices mentioned, Advocacy is important, given the fact that many in the healthcare field, think as we age, we have T2 Diabetes. This can be challenging when you are in a hospital as many don't understand what we have to do to maintain a reaonable BG, and many they lack knowledge of the devices we use to stay healthy.

      Easiest way to stay in range is with physical activity. This is always true even before insulin was available. Tests and doctor appointments can cause mental stress. Physical activity does the opposite.

      I do not share “real-time” CGM date with anyone. My Endo gets the info for my appointments after I have downloaded the data onto TConnect.

      Endocrinologist only. Or mostly.

      Except I may occasionally print out fancy colorful graphs & pie charts to educate other physicians such as the GP.

      At 68 long term T1 52yrs I live alone. Even though my daughter is across the country from me it gives her and I peace of mind. If I don’t respond she can call for help.

      Some years ago my istser asked me if she would be able to see my CGM data but at the time it wasn’t possible (Medtronic). Now I would be able to share with her but I don’t because I know she wouldn’t share her Dexcom data with me if I asked. It’s probably for the best as she likes to run high (afraid of lows) and I like to run lower. We’d probably just make each other anxious looking at the other’s numbers.

      Getting a CGM soon. But find out my phone isn’t compatible, which means no sharing. Dang! So, I have to decide to purchase a new phone at some point.

        I came across the same problem but didnt consider buying a new phone… too expensive a venture. With the Freestyle Libre 2 system, you just get the reader that goes along with the the sensors you’re buying.

      I haven’t found anyone who wants my data. They may care but don’t want to wade thru all of it. Not even my Dr. wants all of that. They want just their down load at the office.
