  Does your T1D healthcare provider suggest new medications or devices that they think would be beneficial to your T1D management during your appointments?
  I’m almost always more informed of the reported advancements in T1 treatments than my doc. So I usually bounce ideas off the doc for his input.

  I am my own advocate. I read about new devices and always investigate side effects of any new medication before starting. I usually bring up but then have good discussion with Endo before making decisions.

  With my endo, I usually have to ask. With the Diabetes Educator, she'll make the suggestion first. They're both very aware that I'm dependent on insurance covering the majority of the cost.

  I wouldn't say that my T1D healthcare provider OFTEN suggests medications or devices that they think would be beneficial to my diabetes management, but they do SOMETIMES suggest options available to me. (I was privileged to be the first person, in the area that I live, to be offered CSII (Continuous Subcutaneous Insulin Infusion, or pump technology) to help control my diabetes. This was after my endocrinologist attended a diabetes conference in the United States where a former Miss America, Nicole Johnson, was demonstrating a Medtronic/MiniMed insulin pump. He asked her for more information on how these pumps work, mentioning that I had extreme difficulty in controlling my diabetes, with me spending as much time in hospital as I was at home when I was taking multiple daily injections (MDI). On his return to the UK, he offered me the opportunity to 'trial' the pump, which I accepted. This was in 1989.)

  I fell in love with an insulin-dependent Type 2 20 years ago. There’s something terribly romantic about taking Lantus together at the end of the day.

  I never knew of anyone who had diabetes, type 1 or 2 before I was married. I became a T1D after I was married.

  I answered “no.” I don’t think my girlfriend at diabetes children’s camp when I was 13 counts. While I think there would be a lot I would have in common with a partner with T1D, I wouldn’t want that to be what brought us together, and I don’t think it would keep us together.

  went on one date with a T1D. she had been dx'd as a child (I was dx'd at 43) so she was very old school. she ragged on me during the entire date about my menu choices, my carbs estimation for my shot and she lost her mind when I ordered a Corona! punchline is that my sugar was less than 150 when I went to sleep.

  When I was married, diabetes was not in the picture at all. All I knew was an uncle who died in 1929 because he refused injections. I developed LADA in my 40's, followed by my husband with Type 2, then my two daughters who had PCOS and Type 2, then my son with Type 2. Enough.

  I have been married since 1985. My wife Susan does not have either type 1 or 2 diabetes, but rather type 3 diabetes- spouse or mate of someone with T1D...:) She has been my guardian for night lows, though she has rarely had to intervene since I started CGM in 8-2006.

  I dated someone, but I was/am not out of the closet about having T1 so he didn’t know that I have T1

  I think my healthcare providers learn about new medications and devices at about the same time that I do. This wasn't the case when I was first diagnosed, pre-internet. Back then, I always looked forward to seeing my CDE because I knew I'd come away with something to make my life easier/better.

  I had to answer “other” because I just got a new endo after my other one retired so I’ve only met with him once. Too early to discuss new technology or medications.

  Generally, no, my healthcare provider does not suggest new medications or devices. However, it is not often that new meds/devices become available. Most things are dependent upon my quarterly blood tests. Recently, my Endo put me on statin drugs when my bloodwork showed high cholesterol over a six month period. Otherwise, I am usually the one who asks about new devices about which I have heard or read.

  I am on the Dexcom, I’m not on a pump though. I am LADA so I have very high insulin resistance, so I use a lot of insulin & there’s just not a pump that would be efficient for my amount of insulin. I’ve tried to get Afrezza, but every Endoc I bring it up to won’t prescribe it. Even though I bring them evidence that it doesn’t cause lung cancer when you’re not a smoker. So frustrating that we can’t agree on that course of treatment.
