      Multiple daily injections users: Do you use a diabetes-specific app on a smart phone to track your insulin dosing? Share what works best for you in the comments!
      I note my insulin dosage, both long and short term, using the events option in my Dexcom G6 app.

      I use an InPen. Tracts my doses and gives report just like a pump. IOB total insulin etc.

      I’m looking for an app that reminds me of basal doses that keeps the time static as you change time zones. For example, I recently travelled to London. My normal basal dose is at 8 PM at home but currently 1 AM in the UK. The Apple Health app reminded me to take it at 8 PM London time instead of 1 AM. I really just want an app that reminds me at the same time my body is set at without making me think about it.

      Echo Mick Martin. Gastroparesis? Try ondonestron (sp?) one of the 10 best medicines ever invented. Also, "a forever learning curve" and "If in doubt, pull it out."

      For pump users: In the past 3 months, have you had issues with insulin delivery due to a bent cannula or occlusion?
      I hesitate to bring this up but I am quite sure this happens more than people realize. I use a tubed pump and small amounts of total daily insulin and have checked the tubing for YEARS for bubbles. YES, they are difficult to "notice" unless you have a good light behind the clear tubing because the insulin is also colorless. I detach and check the tubing in the morning and before bedtime if not before the evening meal...I'm talking about significant bubbles----8-10-or12 inches in length can appear and you would NOT notice them unless you were looking. I wonder how many people wonder why their blood sugar is occasionally high and it's being caused by a significant bubble...NO, not the champagne sized version that's often mentioned to "ignore." The pump company I deal with tried to get me to switch to injections instead but I am an EXPERT with the bubble situation. Also, comments over the years that I am probably not filling the reservoir correctly, etc....just plain silly. I am NOT new at this...LOL!!!

      I said yes to nausea, occurred with a bad pump site insertion and rising BG over the next 4 hours. I picked it up early w CGM notification and realizing that it was very unusual for me to have rising BG at that time of the day (morning) when on Control IQ pump. The severity was delayed because I had given a breakfast meal bolus via the prior site before the change, so BG was rising after 3 hours, and I knew something was not right. I think this is an important clue for pumpers- when I see people get in trouble w bad sites or insertion failures, the thought process usually is- I just put a new site in, it must be ok- or maybe it does not occur to people that the pump site could have failed--when it should be- did the insertion fail? ----If in doubt, pull it out!----- I pulled the site and could see the cannula was bent, so I know what happened and injected w a syringe, put a new site in, and was better in a 3-4 hours.

      I began playing Pickleball last year in March. When the temperatures started to rise the extra effort my body was experiencing because of the heat got my body hormones out of balance and I began experiencing nausea, higher heart rates and feeling very uncomfortable. I soon realized that I cannot play when is too hot or I’ll end up with ketones. Any new activity when on. Insulin requires adjustments. It’s a forever learning curve. Adding to the heat, last year I was having some absorption problems by the overuse of my abdomen. I have now move the infusion sites to my upper front side and it’s working much better.

      Have you developed lipohypertrophy due to repeated injections/infusions of insulin? Lipohypertrophy is a term to describe hardened lumps of body fat just under the skin that resulted from repeated insulin injections/infusion sites. If so, share how you’ve handled lipohypertrophy in the comments!
      After 62 years I have skin issues everywhere. I am an avid at rotating every time I change my infusion set. When I was on multiple daily injections, up to 9 per day, I had massive skin hardening. Since on the pump it’s not nearly as bad that’s been 33 years. I take very little insulin my daily basal comes out to 9 units over 24 hours I eat two meals that I count carbs for and try to keep at a minimum of 30-40 per day. Everything is going well. Rotation is key

      I use a pump and have had issues with insulin absorbtion. It seems I have a lot of them on the side I primarily use for infusion sets. I recently switched to the other side of my abdomen and dropped more than one point on my a1c.

      Does your T1D healthcare provider suggest new medications or devices that they think would be beneficial to your T1D management during your appointments?
      When I first started with my current Endo we would discuss the released and upcoming products and I would tell her about the 'off-market' applications and devices, we both learned from each other. But she was so good with helping me transition to the Dexcom and then the Tandem after Animas was pulled from the Market. She followed my Dex and even finer tuned my Basals and early this year I got an "unbeleivable" 5.4 A1c and we are both extremely happy!

      Yes. But then I self-selected when choosing an endocrinology clinic that pursues cutting-edge advances 40 years ago. Cutting-edge is a phrase that is also often called bleeding-edge because it is often experimental, hit or miss on results, and very expensive. I am convinced the “bleeding” refers to $$$.

      not anymore, and I am happy about it! Most of the time they were recommending things that had been recently pitched to them by a pharmaceutical salesperson or a durable medical supplier. The doctors would give patients the "free samples" and it was often not the best fit, then after the "free" supply ran out, the prices were exorbitant. Maybe it still happens, but I haven't seen it for a while.

      If you have never used an insulin pump with automated insulin delivery (also known as a hybrid closed-loop pump), what are some of the reasons you’re reluctant, or obstacles you’ve encountered? Please select all that apply.
      The need for better CGM accuracy is a big consideration for me. Also my control is pretty good right now (a1c in the low 6 range). Although I am tempted by the sleep and exercise modes which would be very helpful since I’m getting back in to exercise. So…I keep sitting on the fence…

      I don’t want to change from the Omnipod Dash to Omnipod 5 because the minimum target blood glucose is level is higher than where I like to keep it. My A1C is currently 5.0.

      For the last 5 years, the highest HbA1C I've had was 5.3. For the last 3 years the high, low, & average have been 5.2, 4.7, & 4.9. I'm not willing to go to an AID that sets a target of 6 to 7.

      I do MDI. For the last 7 years my A1C has averaged around 4.8. I have no reason to believe that a closed loop automated system could do that well.

      There are many reasons, as well as "something else." My arthritic fingers do not serve me well with a cell phone. I have trouble putting the needle covers back on to my insulin pen needles. If I had to take care of all the fine muscle issues associated with setting a pump up, I would probably require assistance. I am also not drawn to the issues I hear about tissue damage at the infusion sites, or knowing whether everything is seated properly and the insulin is actually flowing. Finally, I just have some kind of negative karma with electronics. I have worked as a lab biochemist. Somehow, I find the weaknesses of every machine in the lab. (the ideal industrial beta-tester) Having said that, what I hear about the numbers achieved with the tandem CIQ gives me pause to consider.

      Like others, the "closed loop" runs me too high - even the target bg is too high for me. I use the TandemX2 with BIQ integrated wqith my Dexcom G6. I also appreciate - and use - the temp basal function often. I would lose that with CIQ. L:ike Nilla Eckstrom (I think?) I like to be between 80-90, with maybe up to 120 after I eat.

      The constant refilling and site changes...doesn't seem worth it.

        When I got diagnosed with T1D many years ago the doctors told my parents that I wouldn’t live to age 40; thank the universe for advances in treatment! My fist blood glucose monitor was the size of a phone book! I nicknamed my first lancet device “the guillotine” and kept it in my office at the hospital where I worked to show my patients who didn’t like doing a finger stick what the old days were like.

      63 of 73 years. By the way I was in rehab after a weird spinal infection(???) and the facility doctor said he had no idea what to do with me cause he’d never met someone with t1d that was in their 70’s. I assured him I could take care of me but that they’d better start training their medical staff on how to deal with type 1’s cause there will be many more coming someday. The nurses had absolutely no idea how to treat type 1 and tried to kill me with their type 2 knowledge..

      I’m a newbie. My T2D journey started when I was 42, just a few years ago.

      Living with T1D for 36 years and 25 years using a MiniMed pump and seeing the same Endo for 24 years. Blessed and luckily that I had the right tools (both mechanical and/or cognitive) to help keep my A1C within goal (never been above 6.5). As a result, I don’t have eye disease, kidney issues, heart issues, or neuropathy. So, I can’t complain too much about my journey.

      Not much to discuss, however, I am tired of T1 Diabetes! I’ve did Injections for fifteen (15) years and on a pump for forty (40) years for a total of fifty-five 55 years, along with using CGMS for eleven (11) years.

      Diagnosed 15 years ago at 50. I’m inspired by those of you who have been dealing with T1D for many decades. It encourages me to hear that you all have managed it so well for so long.

      I was diagnosed late in life and suddenly in 2018 with T1D. I’m much more controlled now snd have managed to live with T1D. I wear a sensor and take 2 types of insulin; I am under the care of a wonderful endocrinologist which I see several times per year for follow ups. I also have have access to a diabetic dietician and have followed a personalized eating plan to control my diabetes.
      I can honestly say that, although my diabetes has changed my life in so many ways, I’m proud that I have come this far in almost 5 years and have learned to manage my blood glucose levels and maintain a healthy lifestyle with diet and exercises👍
