Does T1D impact where you choose to live? For example, a city with a strong endocrinology center, proximity to a hospital, an apartment on a lower floor in case you're low when coming home, etc. If so, tell us how in the comments.

I prefer to be near a hospital and good doctors.

I have epilepsy and other conditions which impact my choice of where to live much more than T1D.
