      And sometimes I dream that I’ve run out of insulin and cannot get prescription refilled.

      I providee an answer of low BG. But with that said, it is usually a false alarm (compression low from Dexcom sensor) With the stable bedtime BG and a TSlim X2 pump using CIQ and Sleep Mode, I consistently sleep between about 85 and 110 every night. The key to this is going to bed with a stable BG (85-110) and not having any IOB.

      While middle-of-the-nght alerts are frustrating and irritating, I'm no longer terrified of dying from an extreme low in the middle of the night, so technology is still a win for me!

      The same as Carrolyn Barloco. I often get messages in the middle of the night that my blood glucose level was either high or low 2, 3, or 4 hours ago. This is a completely useless piece of information, and absolutely NO REASON to wake me up. This is nothing but an ANNOYING alert. Tandem and Medtronic, if you're listening, please remove this function from your pumps.

      I wake up with physical effects of lows. Odd thing is that if I am dreaming, I will often have the same effects within my dream. Like I will be on a plane to some exotic location and start searching for snacks! Does this happen to anyone else?

      Have you developed lipohypertrophy due to repeated injections/infusions of insulin? Lipohypertrophy is a term to describe hardened lumps of body fat just under the skin that resulted from repeated insulin injections/infusion sites. If so, share how you’ve handled lipohypertrophy in the comments!
      I stopped using those sites and paid more attention to rotation of available ones.

      While I don’t have anything yet, I am always concerned about thyroid stuff. Anxiety and hyperthyroid can feel similar to me. I just keep getting that blood work checked and it’s the number one reason I see my endo every 3 to 4 months.

      T1D Exchange has asked this question before. For those of us who have answered it in previous QOTD surveys, does it skew the outcome data? Or not?

      I have Hashimoto’s as does every member of my mother’s family.
      I also have extremely high GAD 65 antibodies (above 25,000) which causes some if not all of my epileptic seizures.

      I assume GAD 65 antibodies were the cause of all of my autoimmune problems as a few years after a vitamin b deficiency, epilepsy happened, then thyroid, then T1D.
      I will be grateful not to gain many more of the autoimmune conditions my mother’s family has.

      Mild skin cancer. Once a year for past 3 years at least one small melanoma has been surgically removed using local anesthetic in a doctor’s office. For past two years they’ve been removed by dermatology specialist. No big deal. Cancer is an auto-immune disease. Why didn’t you include it? Also just this year an endoscopy revealed celiac disease. Since I’m already on a low carb diet, and do not pasta, bread or grains the diagnosis made no difference in my life except maybe to explain an anomalous factor in past lab tests.

      T1 – 50 years ago. First misdiagnosed as a UTI.
      Hashimoto’s – 25 years ago. This one was diagnosed correctly.
      Seronegative Inflammatory arthritis – 10 years ago. Diagnosed as RA, but questioned by more than one specialist. May be psoriatic.
      Possible pustular psoriasis – awaiting specialist confirmation. Misdiagnosed as folliculits.
      Idiopathic guttate hypomelanosis (most likely another autoimmune disease) – more than 10 years. Misdiagnosed as vitiligo.
      Can’t get the auto-antibody testing that’s recommended every 2 years for those of us with Polyglandular Autoimmune Syndrome. My doctors know nothing about this condition, including my primary care doc and multiple specialists – and can’t be bothered to learn. There could well be more as yet undiagnosed autoimmune issues going on.
