      If you miss a long-acting insulin injection, what are your next steps? Please share more in the comments.
      BAAAAAAD WORDS. Definitely the next step for sure.... After that more grumbling, cursing and eventually the decision whether or not taking the long acting THIS late is smart idea. If NOT, then a slightly heavier dose the next day of the short acting insulin seems real likely

      While living in San Diego, I got spoiled: TCOYD is based there and their annual flagship conference occurs there. I went every year. Among my favorite break away sessions we always the ones where we as patients got to share ideas on how Endo's could better respect us as patients. All of the vendors (pharma an device) were there - great oppo0rtunity to see hands-on the devices. An added benefit to being in San Diego, Dexcom and Tandem are based there - so having face-to-face interaction with their staff was awesome. And of course, great swag! Once I moved to Portland OR, I went to an ADA conference. AS a T1D person, I was very disappointed. I had gone with the hopes of meeting my Dexcom and Tandem rep. No device companies were there. The focus of the break away sessions were are oriented to T2D. Fortunately for me, there was was an Oregon Potters Guild show at the convention center at the same time. I bought some great artwork. Since I knew Steve Edelman (TCOYD founder), I got in touch to see what I needed to do to get a TCOYD conference in Portland. I needed to have an idea of the budget so I could also work on funding support. First thing, I wanted support (not $$) from the local ADA and JDRF. Contacted them, but they never returned my calls or emails. Very disappointed I couldn't pull it off.

      Literal poverty prevents attending such conferences. I must survive, therefore to do so the job(s) require all that I have which remains. I would likely enjoy such conference(s), ALWAYS go for the "small" tables FIRST, their survival depends on it...

      Yes, TCOYD and maybe an ADA conference. The second conference I went to in order to check out tech. Both were in the 90s.

      Before you chose an insulin pump, did you do a “saline trial” (a pump filled with saline instead of insulin)?
      The word "chose" is past tense. In the present tense, "no." In the past tense, the ancient of days 1996, the answer was "yes." They even hospitalized you for 2 days. I was and am very healthy and horrified the medical staff when I walked up and down 9 flights of stairs to get something. C'est la vie 🫠

      I felt my lows when I was younger. Now after 45+ years with type 1 I feel a bit of “blurry brain function” when below 50. Thankful for CGM alerts!

      Yes 74 years ago. Yes today intensely. I am one of the small percentage of folks who, instead of experiencing hypoglycemia unawareness, feels it with even more almost acute intensity today. I guess sometime the nerves go the other direction?!? 🐦‍🔥

      If you’re on an insulin pump, what is your glucose target range?
      The "target" is set for 100 (the lowest option with Medtronic), my alarms are 70-130. With the algorithm it's interesting with a basal that rises and falls (and the "auto-bolus") according to levels and dosing, thus my alarms (down to 2% lows this way). But... There's another setting offering different target range, I have it set 70-90 for now. Only been a few weeks so interesting to see how it goes.

      On my Omnipod, both the high and the low are set at 110, the lowest it will allow. My preferred target rang is 70 to 120.

      Diagnosed in 1951 when I was 6 years old. I would feel terrible when glucose went low, but did not know what was wrong.

      Missing answer is “I felt them early in, but not it can be hard at times to physically see a low.”

      To me... (a1C has been as low as 5.2, now near 6.0 with a lot less lows). Discuss with your doc goals, read the DCCT trials (determined "multiple injections" were more beneficial than 1 or 2 shots a day (mixed). Than up to your own confidence with insulin: -how your body reacts (after dosed I notice in 30-35 minutes) it's different for everyone -confidence with understanding the glycemic scale for food (some reach the blood stream quicker, some slower) -your health-as I grow up may not hear a low alarm as quick, nor be able to react as well -and tools... I'm confident with my CGM, alarms, understanding my insulin pump A tighter or lower target can lower a1C, wasn't worth my lows. But an a1C a little closer to non-diabetic can offer a little more prevention against the damage from diabetes. We're doing this to get as old a we can and be as healthy as we can (not necessarily a brag about numbers)---read a definition of heath is to be as far from death as possible. I think that changes...

      110, which is as low as omnipod 5 allows. If I could change it, it would be 90-100.

      In 1973 when I was diagnosed the hospital policy was to force a low so you knew what they felt like. Around 2000 I became severely hypo unaware.

      Initially, I felt lows long before they became problematic. This diminished gradually over time. Now, after 51 years, I feel nothing until BG drops to critical levels -50. Exception is when BG drops dramatically over a very short period of time.

      If you’re on an insulin pump, what is your glucose target range?
      The whole "target" question is a mess. I think most of us here (T1D people who are proactive etc) define "target" as where we want to be after a meal or correction bolus has done it's job. Pump mfr's (and many Endo's) define "target" like they define an A1C goal: averaging 110 over time. Lots of "discussions" (notice the quotes) with my Endo about my targets (I don't accept the "standard goal" of 70-180, I prefer aiming for 70-140). So so answer today's question, my alert ranges are 70 and 120 for high (I correct if I have no IOB, but may have food on board). My target bg (post bolus) is 80-90.

      This quarter of Diabetes Self-Management had an article on podcasts and blogs. Several were listed so I listened to two so far. The first was “TheHuddle,” while interesting geared towards Diabetes Care and Education Specialists,” after a few episodes went on to “Juicebox.” This seems to be geared to younger TYPE 1, but the information is good. So far one of the guests was a young lady experiencing “body transmorphia,” in my words a self destructive feeling towards her body, along with TYPE 1. But the host is easy to listen to, thus far varied guests, and I’ve gotten a few ideas that may help my own care. There’s more podcasts listed I’m going to go through.

      I listen to Juicebox and TCOYD. Both have lots of good information and are well done. With Juicebox, I find the interviews interesting, learning about different folks and how they live with T1D. The host, Scott Benner, also does short podcasts with Jenny Smith who has T1D and is an CDE, and more. I really have learned a LOT of ways to cope and manage my T1D from this podcast. Also, it is not just for younger folks like mentioned in previous post, I am 64. Check out the website, there is so much info there!

      I listened to Juicebox extensively for a few months. Now only once in a while when I see a particular topic of interest. I think they are very helpful in getting information out initially to the newly diagnosed, but after a T1D person gets their numbers down and unless looking for significant improvement, they don’t have as much impact as online or in-person groups like TUDiabetes, FUD Diabetes Forum, LoopandLearn, etc.

        I should have also mentioned TCOYD! Dr’s Edelman and Pettus have a good balance of serious discussion, currency, and humor that is good at communicating, and though obviously impacted by sponsors have a reputation for a fairly balanced presentation.

        I wear a blue tooth, have PODBEAM downloaded on my phone. While walking my herd, driving to work, or yesterday painting have them on. Admittedly I may miss something while concentrating on something else (like had to look up the definition of “algorithm” because I just missed it) but even half listening it’s good.

        At 62 not as astute with technology as my 20 year old nephews but at least beats bordom.

      Yes! Great place to get support, newest information, and connections! Beta Cell with Craig Stubbing, new TCOYD, Real-life Diabetes. Some are more basic than others and I’m not a fan of the podcasts lead by parents who have children with T1. They seem more annoying, controlling and intrusive but I listen when they have important speakers.
