      If you or someone in your family has T1D, have other members of your family been screened for T1D autoantibodies? If not, do you think your family would be willing to be screened for T1D autoantibodies?
      Hi Kristen, thanks so much for your feedback. We do plan to continue questions and education on T1D screening. The constantly evolving clinical trials and FDA-approved therapies that offer the potential to intervene, delay —— and hopefully some day prevent —— T1D are only effective if children are being screened for the earliest stages of T1D. Without screening, we cannot delay or prevent T1D. We do offer "No, my family members have no been screened" as an option. We appreciate your passion as a person affected by T1D and hope you enjoy our other daily questions. All the best, The T1D Exchange team

      First of all, I've said it before, and I'll say it again: stop asking questions about family screenings for antibodies!!!! This is seriously like the tenth time this question has come up. There are plenty of other questions about T1D you can ask. Second, there should be another option to the effect of "I have not discussed antibody screenings with my family," which is the category under which I fall.

      I was born in 1939 and had many childhood illnesses. Three different kinds of measles and tonsils removed before I was 5 years old, then mumps and chickenpox when I was 5. While recovering from the mumps and chickenpox, I began showing the symptoms of very high blood sugar. Three doctors examined me and they were not able to make a diagnosis. I had lost much weight, and I had stopped eating. I did not have an appetite. It was almost impossible for me to walk. A fourth doctor had my blood tested and he made the diagnosis. While receiving pork insulin I finally began to recover a few days after my sixth birthday. I did not have ant relatives with diabetes. I think the childhood diseases caused internal damage and that was the cause of my diabetes. At the present time there are still no type one diabetics among my relatives. I do not believe it is necessary for my children and grandchildren to be screened for T1D autoantibodies.

      I participated in several ADA walks not long after being Dx with T1D. As Ahh Life points out large $ are rased, but where do they go? I stopped supporting ADA for that reason. I think JDF is much more open on where the funding goes.

      The last time you discussed adding a new device or medication to your T1D management routine with your health care provider, who initially suggested trying the new device or medication?
      Switched a long time ago to Tandem/Dexcom from Minimed because of improved and more automated control, and haven't looked back. Still wishing for a cure, but know it's not going to happen for dinosaurs like me. I'll just be glad when young people will will one day experience that magic word: cure. It's too easy to sit around and complain, but it's high time for a cure, and way past time having us depend on treatment that is pretty much a money maker for big Pharma when it seems as if there's a cure waiting in the wings. Filling up landfills with used pump supplies, etc., makes our society look nothing but incompetent and greedy. Sorry to rant.......

      They do too often. Why I ask? Well because it will help long term.... oh how do you know that it will help? It's a brand new medication, never been used by the D community, except for the shortest term study mandated in order to get it to market, and sell. Long term has never been achieved... its NEW. Let's revisit/wait a couple years... if its MAGIC medicine, sure I'll try it. But unless it's got magic properties, guarantees magic results why would I want it, until it's been used for a decent while??? Oh well... yeah, guess that does makes sense....

      Does your T1D health care provider currently offer the option to have virtual appointments (via phone or video call)?
      Yes and for the last year and a half that is exclusively what I have been offered so I am not getting all the usual checks an in person endo visit requires. ADA and others spent 10-20 years convincing endos they needed to check patients feet and that progress has evaporated.

      I would rather see in person. He checks my feet, BP etc. we have a chance to catch up and for me to ask questions. To me so much better face to face. We did virtual during pandemic.

      If you use an insulin pump, do you currently have a protective case on your pump or PDM?
      I’ll occasionally use the holster with clip that came with my pump or a protective case of my own when I’m wearing something without pockets. However I find these quite bulky thus usually just slip my pump in a pocket.

      I am rough on insulin pumps and cracked 2 minimed pump cases. I found the bare T:slim pump too slippery. I use the MEDmax silicone case. I put that in a AGOZ case with a belp clip. But I don't like the clip. It's too sharp and too stif. Looking for a belt for night time use.

      Insulin, meters, diabetic tech are not magic wands. Its usage does not guarantee only "positive" results. Negative events can and do occur, period. Non -D- typically (incorrectly) equate negative events as being total user failure, severe user errors. As diabetics we get blamed, despite having made zero mistakes on our part. We make seriously educated best guesses, despite that truth, we can and do fail anyway sometimes! Outsiders falsely need to believe inulin, our tech are complete-total cures, rather than tiny bandages at best. When confronted for using (sic. my) "drugs" in public, no matter how invisibly done... it is their self righteousness , poor assessment which is the issue. I gladly squash such insects...

      No. I hate the clip on the case that came with my Tandem pump. I bought a couple of other cases, including Type 1 Tactical, and hate the bulk and the awful clips. I just stick the pump in my pocket and it's fine. At night I do use one of the other cases, from Type 1 Secura, because I can keep it clipped to my undies and easily slide the pump in/out if I have to look at it during the night.

      I answered “Yes”. But, the real answer is “No”. Last year I bought a Samsung A71 5g phone specifically so I could use the Dexcom G6 app. Turned out that the app or phone kept interfering with the signals from the transmitter. I spent months changing sensors, transmitters, and even my pump. When I stopped using the phone Dexcom G6 app, everything cleared up. I have not used it since.

      I use T-Connect (on my PC) for the reports and to send data to the Endo. I upload very month – more for my personal analysis than anything else. Don’t have any T1D stuff on my phone. After many years of being on a “short leash” (pagers, PDA’s, smart phones) for work, I enjoy being as device-less as possible. I love the fact that my Dexcom G6 and Tandem X2 pup are integrated, but am happiest when my phone is at home charging!

      I use the Dexcom G6 mobile app, the Tandem t:connect mobile app and the Glooko mobile app. Glooko has great reporting for number crunching, a food library for carb counting where you can store your favorites and a log for tracking 7 different data points plus a notes field. My endo has access to my data from Dexcom and Tandem but only Glooko allows me to provide the context by using the data tracking for meals, snacks, exercise or notes describing what’s going on like bad sensor, bad site or under estimated the carbs on a new food. There are a boatload of variables in play that affect our T1D management and tracking the ones we know about is a good start to understanding the algorithm that is you.

      I use Sugarmate, though I have to have the Dexcom app up to feed it; it tracks BG, insulin, carbs, Dexcom sensor changes, Omnipod changes. Also use MyNetDiary(D) version for calculating carbs for meals. Would love to have one app that effectively does it all in one. Yes, I know each of the apps has the capability to track the items, but some are rudimentary at best. How about surveying what people like about each and why, then building one app that meets the common needs?

      I primarily use the Tandem app, as it includes my insulin/bolus info, basal suspension, etc, addition to Dexcom info.
      I also love having the Sugarmate app, as it connects with my laptop, and shows my BG number and trend at the top of my screen. Super helpful when I’m waiting before a meal for the initial drop of BG before eating. It’s always there, so I’m not checking my phone screen every 5 minutes!

      I use Nightscout for all my Loop data. My endo goes on Tidepool when I see her. My latest is called Cockpit and I am beta testing it for the developer. I really like it.

      I am also a compulsive eater (arrested) so I need to log my foods not just for my carb info, to ensure that I am sticking with my nutritionist agreed to food plan.

      Just the DEXCOM app (a great tool!). I wish apps like Samsung health or Google Fit would incorporate the glucose tracking that apps like DEXCOM log.

      I use my dexcom app for me and the Dexcom Clarity app for my endo. I also use my Fitness Pal, it helps me track my food, helps me remember what I have eaten and best of all it makes it easy for me to figure the carbs in my food at home and when going out to eat.

      I use Clarity and the Dexcom app to monitor BS patterns and the Apple fitness app to monitor movement, etc.

      Dexcom and Clarity on my iPhone; Fitbit Flex 2 on my iPad to track exercise, sleep and weight; and for a while I used My Fitness Pal to track diet on my iPad.

      Just Tandem CIQ X2 on my pump for data downloads to my endo, and to review my TIR. I loathe being tethered to my phone for anything other than phone calls, or to text message someone, or to google a quick answer to something.

      I use Medtronic’s app which allows me to see my sensor data on my phone and it also sends the data to Carelink. I use a third party app which retrieves the information from Carelink and lets me see it on my Apple watch.

      I use the DexcomG6 app on my Apple phone. I got an Apple watch so that I could see my glucose numbers on my wrist instead of pulling out my phone all of the time, but my blood sugar number rarely shows on my Apple watch.. It will show a number though when the number is out of range. I’m glad my watch vibrates when my sugar goes low, but it would be nice if I could see the blood sugar number all of the time so I could prevent the low in the first place.

      I answered “no” because while I do have a couple of apps on my phone, I don’t tend to use them unless I am having issues with my control.

      I have tried apps for a pump and a glucose monitor, but the graphs and such were of no use. I do better with a logbook. I can see patterns there easily. For example, graphs of blood sugars never showed me that on the day I changed infusion sets, I would always have lower blood sugars than on other days. They didn’t show sugars categorized by how recently an infusion set was changed! But I figured this out myself and what to do. My phone also loses too much battery if I start using apps.

      I love SugarMate! I also loved InPen prior to getting on a pump. Prior to using a CGM and pump, I relied heavily on MyNetDiary to manage my readings, food, exercise and insulin as my iPhone would share most of those datapoints directly into the app.

      I use a Tandem TConnect app for my pump/CGM info and Dexcom CGM for sensor management. BEST EVER is the Siri “what’s my glucose” ability on the Dexcom app. Because it is linked to Siri, I pair my phone to my car and with a push of a steering wheel button, I verbally can hear my SG and the trend arrow. VERY VALUABLE. Both apps provide alerts, so I only use TConnect for alerts, but I like the Dexcom Clarity app Sensor trends and data analysis reporting on the most recent readings.
