  If you’ve ever used a connected insulin pen (also known as a “smart pen”), what was your experience like? Tell us more in the comments! 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.
  I like Lyumjev too! Works faster for me.

  Been at this for 40 years now. Not much a CDE can teach me at this point. More the reverse, actually.

  After 20+ years as a Type I, my appointments are with my endo, where I end up educating him on the latest research. Most endo's patient population is almost exclusively Type 2 and are not as plugged into Type 1

  I really like my educator. She keeps me up-to-date on all of the new tech and helps communicate with the vendors and figure out insurance stuff. It's a nice morale boast too; we review Dexcom data and talk about specific highs or lows and different techniques to try. I see my doctor every 6 months and my educator every 6 months, but we're on a schedule so I see one of the two every quarter.

  My Diabetes Care Specialist is also a Nutritionist. I have found her advice and support vital to mastering T1 since my diagnosis 2 years ago

  Medicare requires me to see my endo every 90 days if I want them to approve my insulin pump supplies....despite my very good control. Otherwise, my endo would be happy to see me twice a year. An example of Medicare being "penny-wise and pound-foolish" by paying for "medically-unnecessary" office visit costs.

  Schush! I know it's supposed to be 4 but since my Endo follows my Dex and I hit an A1c of 5.4 with 0 Hypos I'm happy. Just lost my wife and will be moving further from my Endo and hope TeleVisits will do as I will also start visiting a Gerontologist.

  Four, because Medicare. I was fine going 2x/yr for decades before that. But Medicare doesn't care what your Dr thinks. Rules is rules.

  I saw my endocrine provider 6 times this year instead of the usual four because I was having pump insertion site absorption issues so she saw me two extra times for problem solving resolution.

  It helped me track when and how much insulin I had injected. It also would show me how much I had on board so if I needed to take additional insulin it would help me not to stack too much at a time.

  In the past year, have you been required to change medications because of your health insurance?
  In July, I went on the only Medicare plan in my area that covered Afrezza. For 2024, no one is covering it. Like others, hate these formulary decisions by the Insurance providers.

  Yes, I HATE FORMULARIES and how they control what medications I take, as opposed to what my doctors prescribed.
