      If you have been hospitalized for a reason unrelated to T1D and you were alert during your hospital stay, were you allowed to manage your own insulin dosage? (If you have been hospitalized for reasons unrelated to T1D multiple times, please select the option that describes your most recent hospital stay.)
      The hospital made me disengage my pump and promised to monitor my BG. After 10 hours with an incorrect basal my BG was high and going up. No nurse or doctor was available to administer insulin. I finally reinstalled my pump and forced the hospital to acknowledge that they could not monitor my BG. After appealing to the hospital Board, after my stay, they started using CGM's in all the wards for diabetic patients.

(If you have been hospitalized for reasons unrelated to T1D multiple times, please select the option that describes your most recent hospital stay.)
      During my hospitalizations for cardiac issues, my endocrinologist (who does not do hospitals) told the attending endo that I was capable of managing the diabetes. I was allowed to mange pump and CGM without any problems. For one stay, I had a pump-using T1D nurse. This was the premier cardiac hospital in the western part of my state, so their handing of diabetes may be more advanced. There are two rules for handing the type 1 diabetic in a hospital setting. 1) Never separate the Type 1 diabetic from his or her insulin. 2) Let the expert in the room handle the diabetes. And bring your own supplies, because the hospital will not have pump supplies, CGM replacements, or your insulin.

      During your most recent appointment, about how much time did you spend with your main T1D health care provider?
      I didn't have a stopwatch out, but it was about 12 to 15 minutes. There was a lot to go over (new devices, etc.). I probably got everything I needed, but, for some reason, I always feel rushed at this office.

      It was over 20 minutes but since my Endo has me so well Regulated (A1c 5.4 - 5.6) even Medicare is allowing a Visit every 4 Months. Dex 6 and Tandem CIQ is my Cure!

      My A1C is normally in the 5 to 6 range also, but I am lucky to have an Endo who answers any questions I may have and discourse on new technologies. He also checks my feet and eyes. He spends up to 40 minutes with me. I have been T1D for 59 years and have been through a pregnancy (hellish) also. I still have many questions about this disease and it’s effects on the rest of my body as I am very active.

      I believe if you have good control and your A1C's prove it, maybe 10 to 20 minutes is enough. My A1C's are in the high 5's / low 6's so my session is usually complete within minutes tops, but there are probably other patients that should require a little more time from their endo to get them on a 'well managed' A1C path.

      If you are an adult with T1D, how much has type 1 diabetes affected your thought-process and decision to have/not have children?
      I was diagnosed at age 12 and I don’t remember anyone talking to me about having or not having children. I married at 23, had an unplanned pregnancy that began when I was 24. I was not seeing an endocrinologist at the time (in 1979), but my OB doctor sent me to one. Both of the doctors made comments to me about maybe ending the pregnancy, but my answer was a definite NO!!! It was a hard pregnancy without the better insulin and technology that is available today. I went into labor approximately 6 weeks before my estimated due date. Since a Caesarian had been planned, no one had explained anything to me about going through labor, so that took longer and was harder on me than it should have been. Anyway I delivered a 7 pound, 11 ounce boy. He had jaundice and a slight heart murmur at first , but that cleared up after a short stay in the hospital. My son is 42 now and bloodwork has indicated he will not become a T1D. Same with his 2 children. That was my only pregnancy. I am now 67.

      I have decided to give them to my endo's office. They have a nice supply closet of donations, that they give to people in trouble. Since i have had to dip in that closet once, I now know how important that can be.

      I tried to donate them to my healthcare system but was told they were not allowed to take them. I tried a couple of other places- same story so I now will have to put them in the garbage

      This year I learned about Time in Range and began a concerted effort to improve mine. I now have days where I exceed 85% in range, at the beginning of the year, I was averaging 74%. In the process I have brought my A1C to 6.2%. Not too bad for having T1D for 64 years.

      Achieved surviving this Covid-19 pandemic year as a T1D, upgraded to the Dexcom CGM6. Now hopeful that over 2021 we will stay safe, continue to wear our masks and social distance, and indulge in some good hand cream since many of us will need to give our hands some TLC after all these months of frequent hand washing!

      It has been a year of learning how to live during a world wide pandemic and stay safe. So I have achieved avoiding the ER and will continue to do so. I avoid public places and do curb side pick up, drive thru, and have achieved cutting my own hair. You also have to achieve the mental health depression of solitude by exercising, eating right, sleeping well, and keeping up with the diabetic routines which never end. I am thankful to still be here and feeling well this morning. Happy New Year to all and may 2021 bring us more vaccines so we can get back to seeing our families and grandchildren again.

      Our Lions District JDRF walk team raised over $7000. Also our district has applied for a $60,000 grant to renovate the cabins at Camp Ho Mita Koda, a camp for diabetic kids in Ohio. All indications are the grant will be awarded in January. Some of the Lions Clubs in the district promote diabetes education and some clubs partner with health organizations to arrange screening events. I hope to resume leading a class for prediabetic individuals at the Y.

      Considering what a stressful year this was – sold our home, many of our possessions, and moved to a one bedroom apartment in the city to reduce our bills. Worked at my place of employment all through the various shut downs. This is not where I thought I would be in my mid 60’s – but throughout all of that kept my A1C in the mid 6’s, and am grateful to still be employed.

      I spent a lot of time figuring out how to control food cravings, moods, pain, depression and family drama. There was a lot to deal with anyway, but being a T1D, having limited access to Dr.’s, supplies of all types and refiguring my mental health balance was NOT easy. My inner support ‘system’ is non-existent, except for my love, so to have my dog die in the middle of it all was a trauma too. Covid19 insecurities only made me more paranoid. My family’s pressure to visit for holiday gatherings was NOT helpful. Although I love them all, my best interest was NOT at heart. I had to be clear and say “It isn’t that I don’t want to be there, I just can’t expose myself to such large groups this year”. I just don’t see how those around me can’t respect my decisions in this regard. I’ve had T1D over 35 years, I’m stage 3 CKD and have other complications. I know T1D is SEVERELY MISUNDERSTOOD, but seriously, isn’t there any way to promote some common sense thinking-chronically sick or not??? I worry for the elderly, I worry for others worse off than I am. I have found that meditation, my pets, social media groups (specific to my true interests (even if I can’t do them in ‘real life’) and reading or Audible are great ways to stay sane <3 "D Good Luck & Godspeed to all in 2021

      Not an achievement but wanted to share my experience moving to the Medtronic 770 and how I learned the importance of the integration of cgm and insulin pumps. I originally started my pump therapy with Medtronic then went to Animas + Dexcom and back to Medtronic. The primary reason back to Medtronic was due to United health care forcing the decision BUT that is not the purpose of the comment. Through the years I have maintained the ADA goals for A1C’s through injections and pumps yet until my recent switch from the 670 to 770 I had no idea my body has changed and how much the CGM integration has helped. I setup the 770 with the same settings as I transferred from the 670 which in transferred from the Animas pump and thought the few days of no integrated cgm would be a piece of cake… unfortunately/fortunately they were not with blood sugars 300’s and 400’s. P.s. Thanksgiving didn’t help it much😀. Sugars at night were all over the place then I got back into ‘Automode’ where the integration adapts to the amount of insulin your body needs and it was like a light switch of getting sugars back to them ADA goals and sleeping at night without constant fear of those high and lows. And by no means does that mean no nights with highs or lows but much, much less. Wow this is great technology!!!

      Survived! Not setting the bar high, but more poignant in a pandemic when I have been seeing half the patients in person. Raised 20,000+ for JDRF for a virtual walk- less than last year but despite COVID. With T-Slim with CIQ I see on average 94% TIR with 2% hypo- that would never ever have been possible without it! Perhaps most important- seeing so many of my T1D patients do so well with the modern tools, or at least better. That gives me great joy…

      Yes – A1C from 7.2 down to 6.8 – the lowest it has been in years! With CIQ TIR is improving everyday between 78 to 88% and very few low BGs. I have carefully and mindfully maintained my health and inner self equilibrium in the midst of the daily chaos thrown at us by the election and the COVID pandemic, even while working as a nurse in health care settings.

      This year after a long and intense battle with insurance I was finally able to replace my failing Animas Vibe pump with a Tandem t:slim X2. Using Control IQ I’m now in range 88% of the time without the many lows I was experiencing before. After 65+ years living with T1, this improvement in my quality of life is a major achievement.

      I actually answered know before I read any of the comments. However, after reading comments I would say that an achievement is that I did get through this challenging year being safe and I am almost to the 60 years with diabetes Mark. I also have been able to get my hemoglobin A-1 C down from the low sevens to 6.6 but I/O that pretty much entirely to the Dexcom G6 Which I finally got through Medicare last January. By making decisions with much more accurate blood glucose information my control is better. My time in range is around 82%. I always have tried as hard as possible to do everything right to manage my diabetes but with newer technologies the results just keep getting better and better. I am so thankful for all of the new technologies and the ones that are in the pipeline. I still have to manage my insulin pump manually as none of the current pumps with automated systems are accessible to people with low vision and blindness of which I am one.

      I achieved the T:slim/Dexcom device that as many of you know makes life as a T1D MUCH, MUCH more doable!

      So excited for those who have lived with it so long and keep getting better and better. I’m a LADA type 1, so just 10 yrs at age 63. I achieved great A1C, but lotta lows. Was thinking of waiting for Tandem’s patch (like Omnipod) coming end of 2021 possibly. I feel wasteful getting T-Slim for just a year. But I think I should get over it. Go for it. If it’ll help stay in range 88% of the time, as one of you said. Wow. Let’s live it up in 2021!!!

      I finally found new sensor insertion sites. I only had one side of my abdomen available thanks to a colostomy and started using my arms. I have little body fat and do not want scar tissue to stop me from using pump and sensors.

      I kept my a1c under 6.5 for the past 18 months!

      I was able to lose ten pounds and stay at the new weight.

      For the first time in the 22 years I’ve had T1D (12 years with a pump), I really dug into my pump settings (basal and bolus) on my own. My endo seemed confident that I’d be fine on my own, and I was! I also started pre-bolusing regularly -at long last haha. Time in range increased and confidence increased!

      So many: 1. From A1c of 13 at time of diagnosis, I had two readings in 2020 of 7. 2. Maintained weight loss of over 40 lbs. for year. (maybe a bit more wt.) 3. Wrote gratitude list daily which pointed me positively. 4. Made many delicious homemade meals that were healthy 5. Prioritized setting & keeping boundaries to support my mental health 6. Continued to go to supportive meetings on zoom throughout 7. Used the paid version of MyFitnessPal to track food for over 6 months 8. Able to match foods to blood sugars more readily & easily 9. Able to emotionally separate from abusive situation 10. Began to clear emotional & physically crowded spaces

      I got the pump in 2020 and improved my blood sugars. But it is very expensive and not all supplies are covered by insurance.
