      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?

      Between regular T1D visits, I often wonder whether daily patterns—like changes in stress, sleep, or meals—affect my numbers more than I realize. Sometimes I take a short mental break with a quick game, such as subway surfers mod apk, before reviewing my data again. It helps me reset so I can ask clearer questions at my next appointment.

      Do you currently take metformin?
      Before I was correctly diagnosed the primary care physician said I must be type 2 due to my age of 36, even though I was always very thin and had rapidly lost even more weight. He prescribed metformin- I proceeded to get sicker and sicker. Finally got to an endocrinologist who tested and said I was T1D, and I was put immediately on insulin. What a game changer.

      Other I took Metformim for 3 months when I was first incorrectly diagnosed with T2. I am very sensitive to insulin and don’t need it yet.

      Do you currently take metformin?
      In the late 2010s, I began to become insulin resistant and started packing on a lot of weight. I believe using a pump facilitated this because of the abundance of insulin readily available. My doctor put me on metformin, then Jardiance, then Victoza. As a result, my insulin use went from 120-140 units per day to a minimum of 24, up to 40 depending on carb loads. I also lost 102 lbs. It may not be for everyone, but if you're starting to notice insulin resistance, it can be a good weapon to have.

      I've had T1D for 50 years. I started taking Metformin 9 months ago. I take full dose at bedtime to manage my morning glucose rise. It keeps the liver from releasing glucose. It has helped.

      I took it for four years when I was diagnosed with T2. After four years of not being able to control my bs I asked my endocrinologist if I could go on insulin and he said yes and the T2 drugs stopped.

      Have you had to switch diabetes medications in the past year due to health insurance changes?
      I hate formulary changes mid year. They should not be allowed!

      I will be possibly switching from Humalog to Novalog next year. There is NO Medicare Part D plan in my county that now covers Humalog. Complicated by the fact that I use a Humalog specific Smart Pen, it will be one more hassle in T1 world. My endo will submit a formulary exception request next year. My hoarded supply of cartridges will carry me through while waiting for the response 🤞🏻I cannot believe that this is the broken system that we have to settle for in the richest country in the world.

      My doctor switched me without telling me from Humalog to novolog and told me it was due to insurance. I’m on Medicare and I never saw anything that said that was necessary. They call me periodically to see how I’m doing and I told them I didn’t appreciate being switched without being told. I thought initially it was a mistake when I picked it up at the pharmacy but they said that’s what the doctor ordered. Then the next visit, he told me all my issues with insulin switching and preauthorization holdups was my fault basically because he says “I have the wrong insurance”. Like I’m going to NOT use Medicare. My opinion? I think I have the wrong doctor, but it’s a hassle to switch.

      Not this year, but in 2026, I need to switch from Humalog to Novolog.

      NEVER accerptable or appropriate. Nobody's healthcare should ever be determined by a third party's profit margin(s) to determine what we are forced to take.

      Having already switched from the Eros to the 5, six months ago, I selected “not using the Eros.” For those that are using the Eros, skip the Dash. After the few weeks of adapting to the new PDM, I have had really good results. The Omnipod is the best system for those of us who HATE having the long tubes hanging out and catching on everything. Be stealth!

      I am on the Dash as well. I wanted Dexcom G7 more than Omnipod 5, so I switched to G7. I expect it won’t be long before G7 works with 5.

      I am going to Tandem. Just need to use my supplies up before I start on the new system. I am not sure how I will adapt to being tubed again but I am hoping it helps with my lipoatrophy among other things.

      I’m a DIY Loop guy so this was an easy switch for me. My insurance covers it and I am all set as the DASH actually integrates more easily with Loop (it removed the need to carry an extra device).
