      Do you notice a certain smell associated with your insulin?
      It smells like insulin, thank goodness. If it didn't I wouldn't use it.

      On the rare occasion that I spill or break a bottle; I can smell it. It smells like insulin without comparison to anything else.

      It smells like insulin. I believe the smell comes from preservatives. It's smelled the same since NPH and Regular insulin.

      Agree with Robert. It smells like Insulin. My mother God rest her soul had a very sensitive nose and she first brought it to my attention. Then I noticed it, but only when I am changing cartridges on my pump.

      What was your most recent A1c?
      I went from 6.0 to 6.3. A little bummed but I will blame the holidays. My family gives me food for gifts sometimes and I eat it if it is in the house, but maybe only 1 cookie a day. I’ve found if I don’t time the bolus 15 minutes before I eat, I will go high and it is usually a stubborn high. The insulin on board is taking a longer time it seems to be totally absorbed (is that insulin resistance?). Anyway, almost 68 and I’m noticing some small changes like that. Hopefully, with the new year, I will get back on track with better diet and consistent exercise.

      Outside of CGM or insulin pumps, are there any other T1D related technologies that have helped you better monitor your T1D? Share in the comments what they are!
      Insulin is much better. Insulin is rarely mentioned as a diabetes tech. Still, all these people running around talking about free insulin for all do not understand that insulin today is 10,000 times more advanced than when it was discovered. Yes, I celebrate banting, but let's not kid ourselves, basting did not discover this insulin - this insulin is the product of millions of dollars of research efforts.

      Cost no, insurance coverage yes. I had a UHC plan that restricted me to Medtronic pumps for a while. I really wanted a Tandem, but had to wait for insurance policy to switch for coverage.

      I have used the Medtronic pump since 1995. I therefore use their Guardian Sensors. My work insurance covered my supplies. When I turned 65, Medicare & my supplemental insurance covered my supplies. I am so blessed to have EVERYTHING eventually covered by insurance! A few difficult fights along the way— Type 1 for 70 years. I am 76! I also hate change. I am not techie. If it is not broken, I don’t fix it!

      Indirectly — I only use the devices that are covered. So far, it's only impacted my glucometer choice.

      I was so bummed because the one six months before that was 5.6. But I have been using the guardian G4 sensors and in that six months the quality of those sensors has plummeted. They are so unreliable and don’t last seven days and my blood sugars were all over the place. I’ve called Medtronic and I’m keeping track of all my sensors and I would say that out of the last 20 sensors 75% of them fail after four days. Now I don’t trust them in my life is very stressful in that regard. Does anyone else on this site use the Guardian G4S and if so, have you noticed a diminishment in accuracy and longevity?

      I was more interested in integration of my pump and CGM than cost. And usually insurance covered the cost.

      I was fortunate enough to get into a study about 6 years ago and was using medtronic pump and cgm for 6 months. Lots of issues with alerts, calibrations etc and I almost decided to continue with mdi. My endo convinced me to give tandem/dexcom a try and I did, its not perfect but my in range time stays consistently 93% or better and a1c is typically 6.1 or less. I've been type 1 for 28 years and as I age (I'm 68) more challenges creep into controlling glucose however Tandem and dexcom have helped considerably!

      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 don’t listen to, or watch any podcasts. I’m not technologically savvy. T1D Exchange is my the only diabetes related site in which I partake. I keep myself busy enough where I don’t want to spend any more time on the computer.

        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.

        Thanks for the tip on Samantha Farley’s YouTube channel! Just checked it out. Does she actually say she’s Chris Farley’s daughter? My husband went to college with him and didn’t think he had any kids? He said he had a bunch of brothers, though, so perhaps she is his niece?

      But as TomH mentioned TCOYD! Dr’s Edelman and Pettus are entertaining and educational in the best traditions of Bud Abbott and Lou Costello, Chris Farley and David Spade, Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis, Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau, et al. (^ω^)
