  Occasionally. It smells like a doctors office, or a dentist office.

  Yes, 42 years Type 1. I don't remember R and NPH smelling as strongly as the analogs do now days.

  That's the preservative. It's also useful for detecting leaks or broken tubing.

  Of course, it smells like insulin. Lol also my husband and son know the smell, so they’ll ask me if my pump is leaking when they do smell it. They find it rather disagreeable in oder. 🤷🏼‍♀️

  41 yrs here and same. My ex-husband told some random cashier at a truck stop once he knew she was diabetic because he smelled insulin. She was, but I was so embarrassed! How RUDE he was, I'd have died if a stranger said that to me. Plenty of reasons he's an ex. She was surprised and said yes she was but was probably mortified, too. 🤦‍♀️

  Those around me notice the smell as well, but usually only when I am changing the cartridge.

  Same! Im wondering if many who don't notice it just use pens. I never notice it then, only with vials and filling my pump unless I have a leak.

  No. Unfortunately, the senses lessen with age. Olfactory in my case being the first to go. Hearing is less. Eye sight lessened. Taste and haptic senses, though, are still robust. 🐦

How often do you typically make updates to your basal rate (whether with your doctor’s guidance or on your own)?

If you have a menstrual cycle, do you notice changes in your insulin sensitivity throughout the month?

The Diabetes Psychologist and Pancreas Pals are both wonderful! Great hosts, living with T1D, and a wide range of topics about real life with T1D.

I am a senior with LADA, so I couldn’t relate to the 2 guys who are happy, fun presenters, and I listened to the young man who wrote the book Landmines. I learned as I listened, just not in the same age category. Plus those presenters had people who supported and lived with them, I am a widow which makes T1D more difficult living alone.

Juice Box podcast occaisionally. I like his Diabetes Pro Tips series. The CDE he has on from time to time is great too.

I tend to do much more reading than listening. (👍 ͡❛ ‿ ͡❛)👍 But TCOYD is occasionally worthwhile. (ノ ͡❛ ‿ ͡❛)ノ

I am caring for a very elderly relative with cancer, so I don’t devote time to podcasts, live streaming meetings/conferences, etc. I had hoped after retiring 2 years ago, I would have time to participate more in research studies, discussion groups, etc., but being a caregiver must take priority first.
