      If I were not on Medicare, it would be difficult to get an appointment within 3 months, even in an emergency. In an emergency, they would assign me a nurse practitioner to see. It is possible to contact them through their "portal." Whether I get a timely response depends on whether there is a reliable nurse to respond.

      When I saw my endo a year ago, I wasn't able to make an appointment 6 months later because all available appointments were fully booked. I have to see her CDE who has more availability in order to meet Medicare requirements for quarterly visits. Many, many healthcare providers in my area burned out and quit during Covid. I injured my knee badly last June and can't get a consult with an orthopedic surgeon until May due to the backlog of people needing help. I'm on crutches until then. My sports medicine doctor stopped practicing medicine last month. Our healthcare system is in crisis with no solution in sight.

      On hold or actually talking about the issue and calling back to ensure someone follow's up as everyone seems to be over their head. Honestly, it varies. It can take considerable time just to raise the visibility of an issue, then the follow up can take weeks/months and patience to resolve. Another problem is patients without the cognitive skills for follow-up. These days i doubt anyone pays attention to them.

      I try to make my appointment for my next appointment when I check out. The scheduler always asks maki g it easier to remember. If I was to forget there would be a wait to get back int the rotation.

      Before the onslaught of Type 2 Diabetes, I, as a T1D, could get an appointment almost anytime I needed one. Now, I cannot get an appointment within 3 months, which is the time within I must see rhe doctor for Medicare benefits. My doctor cancelled 2 (half ) of my sppointments last year. Caused ma a lot of problems. I live in Florida, a place where modern medicine does not seem to have reached yet.

      I routinely see my Endo every three months. At the end of my appointment I schedule the next quarterly meeting date. But if I ever have to reschedule it, then it takes anywhere from two to four weeks to find a time that works for us.

      It all depends on the urgency of my needs. I’ve gotten in the next day before, but those days may be gone! It also depends on who I see. But these days, even the PA is often booked. Of course, cancellations happen, so that can be a factor as well.

      Over the past 3 months, how much time would you estimate you have spent working through T1D prescription-related issues with pharmacies, insurance companies, durable medical equipment distributors, T1D device companies, health care providers, etc.?
      The beginning of the year is always a bit iffy when you're on Medicare. Even though I've already paid my annual deductible, my pharmacy can't see that, so I must wait until it shows up on my Medicare account before I order new insulin. I always try to have plenty of insulin on hand at the end of December so it's not an issue. The organization I get my pump equipment from has a lot they must do because of Medicare, as well, and that can get time consuming. All-in-all, I'm lucky to have the time, energy and patience to deal with it, and I know up front these time-consuming moments are to be expected. If I wasn't retired, it'd be more of an issue.

      I selected 6 hours. So far, I have spent 6 weeks trying to get a new pump. I decided to look for a new pump in mid-December as my 770G warranty expired on January 3. I wanted to go hoseless with the Omnipod and the Dexcom 6. I contacted Dexcom and they sent me to the medical distribution company ASPN, and they could do the Omnipod but only with pharmacy part D with the Dexcom 6 sensor on DME My part D pharmacy plan had Omnipod as tier 6. $155.56 co pay and $150/month. The omnypod is not available as DME. I called INSULET the mfgr of omnipod. They told me they only supply via pharmacy plan to get more T2d's to sign up. Verses 100% DME coverage, part D coverage that was a non-starter. I contacted another supply company CCSmed. They could do both Dexcom 6 and tslim x2. Ineeded a Endo visit to get the notes and Rx. I had my Endo visit on Jan 20. Still waiting for CVSmed. Been waiting for 5 weeks now. Just called CCSmed and they got the endo notes and Rx but Medicare wanted to know who paid for my 770G 4 years ago. Fortunately, that was private/company. My new pump should now ship tomorrow. Finally.

      I answered "No time," but I live in France, where we have a single provider. I receive a prescription from my doctor and go to the pharmacy monthly to have it filled. (Pump peripherals are provided by a separate supplier.) "Appeals" do not exist here since the doctor will only prescribe medicines that are reimbursed. And no, I have never needed a treatment that wasn't covered.

      When you experience an illness that makes your blood glucose levels more difficult to manage (whether because you are unable to eat, the stress of being sick, or any other reason), what resources do you refer to for help managing your blood glucose levels while sick? Please select all that apply to you.
      The resources I use in managing my glucose levels once sick is my own personal experience after living with t1d for 46 years

      Switching to Medicare has created (seemingly) endless hours and day making this transition with all things diabetes related. We’re still in the midst of making this ā€˜delightful’ change. This week we learned that Medicare covers Either CGM stuff OR glucose test strips. Thank goodness that God is sovereign over all these details. He helps me walk through these challenges without despair.

      The last 3 months have been filled with frustrating phone calls now that I switched back to traditional Medicare from a Medicare Advantage plan. I have been fighting to get strips authorized in addition to CGM- they did not authorize them because I had no proof that I had a meter!! Crazy making! I had to write an appeal letter in order to get them, but finally got it worked out. I also had some pump replacement issues, trouble getting insulin, etc.

      Much too much time! Part of it, I know, is my own fault, for not keeping anxiety at bay when I have to sort out which plan will work best, annually. But it is something I dread, every single year. When I call to get some help understanding, the people are almost always very nice, but I have had times when the information was incorrect or not explained clearly. I usually commiserate with the person on the phone for having such an annoying system, and agreement seems to rule the day. But I never chose to make sorting out insurance management a career!

      I said 8+ and the reason, as for so many others, can be summed up in a phrase: transitioning to Medicare.

      On a scale of 1-5, how satisfied are you with your current insulin delivery method (pump, pens, syringes, inhaler, etc.)? 5 = the most satisfied, 1 = the least satisfied
      I’m a reasonably satisfied MDI user with Lantus and Fiasp. I’ve looked into getting a pump but honestly, until I find one that does everything I want, I’ll probably hold off. My wish list for a pump: 1) no tubes 2) works well with Fiasp 3) controls that allow me to stay at my target of 70-90 mg/dl all night long.

      MDI for the past 60 years and do not see any alternative that I would prefer. The needles for my pens are so thin and sharp that they are painless (a far cry from the lancets I once used). chiefly, I am glad not to have to deal with setting up a pump and. Although I love my libre, I am not good candidate for having devices affixed to me. If my insulin delivery got interrupted they way i have interrupted my cgm service, I would have been in trouble. Furthermore, I have a track record of having both mechanicall and electronic things malfunction. (Seriously, I sometimes act as a beta-tester for technology folks. Maybe I push to many buttons?)

      I've had Tandem x2 and Dexcom since September. Previously on Medtronic for around 15 years. Grew to HATE the sensors and switched before the warranty on my last Medtronic was up. So far, I absolutely LOVE the Tandem and the Dexcom. I'm disappointed, however, in the amount of waste and plastic that this pair creates. Of course there will always be plastic waste from any pumps/sensors, but the amount of non-reusable stuff for insertions is ghastly.

      Have your doctor prescribe the syringes with .5 unit increments instead of the 1 unit syringes. Not quite a .1 unit which you are hoping for, but .5 is better than 1 unit increments.

      I’ve been a Medtronic pump user since 1993, but am intrigued by the Tandem pump and additional software to make it closed loop. I’m going to explore moving to it (assuming there is Medicare support for it) as my pump warranty ends at the end of this year.

      Not particularly. I take care of my diabetes 24/7/365 first & foremost as a matter of course regardless of circumstances. It is embedded in my everyday consciousness. I consider life with diabetes a hidden blessing and I am grateful that it serves as a guide and constant reminder to live mindfully. Thus, for me, diabetes serves as a tool to keep me on my toes to make healthy lifestyle choices. The inner and outer personal goals I set and affirm for myself are far beyond just caring for and about living with diabetes. However, by taking care of the diabetes self I am able to live more fully to explore and experience all the other dimensions of what life has to offer.

      Newly on Tandem X2 pump I will gradually adapt it to my habits & needs with a goal of FEWER AGGRAVATING alerts alarms reminders et al. IOW my goal is fostering my tools to serve, not control, me. … and sure, who doesn’t want a lower HBA1c? :–) N.B. at my age & duration i can’t imagine that improving my 6.1 or 6.4 hbA1C to a 5.x something can make any substantive improvement or benefit to my risk of the organ failure/systems degradation side of managing ā€œthe complications of diabetesā€. Let me know what comparables are out there in the research papers and case histories that may show quantitative results. HAPPY NEW YEAR!

      Survive another year with T1D not killing me, or causing serious complications. After 52+ years of T1D, I want the right to die of something else…. but not COVID…. and dance on the grave of T1D when it is no more. And to convert as many in my practice as willing and who have access to a hybrid closed loop pump. Gamechanger… To see T1D considered high risk for early COVID vaccine access. Though the data shows that T1D increases the risk as much as T2D, CDC lists T2D as definitely increased risk, and T1D as possibly. Shocking- not supported by the science: (1)Associations of type 1 and type 2 diabetes with COVID-19- related mortality in England: a whole-population study. Emma Barron et al, Lancet Diabetes Endocrinol 2020; 8: 813–22 (2)Risk factors for COVID-19-related mortality in people with type 1 and type 2 diabetes in England: a population-based cohort study. Naomi Holman et al, Lancet Diabetes Endocrinol 2020; 8: 823–33 (3) COVID-19 Severity Is Tripled in the Diabetes Community: A Prospective Analysis of the Pandemic’s Impact in Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetes. Justin M. Gregor et al, Diabetes Care ahead of print, https://doi.org/10.2337/dc20-2260. Same results, T1D increases risk on same order as T2D if you adjust for other factors like age, obesity, blood sugar control, etc.

      My goals for the is year are better simple in relation to T1D, just living a healer lifestyle in general. Not necessarily just diet or exercise related but holistically. I also agree with another post made, about being able to include pictures and add comments the way myglu.com did.

      I am so close to my goal weight. I have lost 160 lbs without surgery and I have 10 more to go. This has been a 6 year process and has taken the help of my wife, endo, CDE and cardiologist. So when I say weight loss I mean it. This year is the year I am going to do it.

      Tighter control is always a better thing. I’m in range most of the time, but when things get hectic around here I sometimes forget to bolus. I really have to work on me first so I’m in range all the time. Other than that, I had lost 39 lbs before Covid, hopefully this year will allow us to return to our more normal lives and the 15lbs I put back on will come off, and I’ll continue to lose the weight.

      I hope to continue losing weight and I need to do a better job of remembering to bolus before my meals so that I am not playing catch-up so much.

      As always, manage/improve my Ha1c. That’s key especially as you age. And now we have the incredible tools like real time glucometers to use.

      Keep my BG within range (80-180) for at least 75% of the time.

      Try something new. A different CGM and a pump (currently on multiple injections). Exciting!

      Happy and healthy New Year to All🄳2021 is the year where I hope to keep my HgbA1c below 7 also hope to stay within 70% in range with my BG. My endocrinologist is very encouraged with my progress and feels I’m not far from reaching my goal. I’ve been a T1D since Feb 2018 so almost 2 years since I was diagnosed. With pandemic and trying to stay healthy and safe along with my family, having an underlying condition makes it imperative that I continue being vigilant.

      I will continue to grow my efforts focused on affordability, access, and availability. Far too many people in the US and throughout the world continue to have compromised diabetes health and lives because they do not have access to superb Diabetes Educators and cannot afford the needed diabetes drugs and technologies. 34+ million of us live with diabetes in the US. With the support of family members, friends, and colleagues we are an impressive coalition to significantly improve access and affordability. We must change this dramatically and rapidly. People with diabetes deserve opportunities to live happy, productive, healthy lives! This proper investment in people living with diabetes will save billions in healthcare costs and improve productivity, health, and lives dramatically.
