      If you use an insulin pump that comes with a clip, how often do you have your pump clip attached to your pump?
      The more important question is 'how well does the clip work'. For me, the Medtronic clip worked very well, but the Tandem clip is quite ineffective and the pump falls off my belt during things like yard work or other bending movements.

      I answered never. I always use a clip -- I wear my t:slim x2 on my belt -- but not the Tandem clip. I use the black t:Holster Rotating Belt Clip. Very pleased.

      I am rough on pumps and use a Tandem X2 but dont use the Tandem clip/holster. I use a neoprene case and a pouch with a metal clip. Thenmetal clip is uncomfortable while I sleep. Looking for a different solution for wearing my pump at night.

      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?
      I answered that nobody wants to be screened, but I was answering based on my immediate family. I did let my deceased type-1 diabetic cousin's 35 year old son know he can be tested for his likelihood of becoming type-1 diabetic. He said he may be tested as he was always curious if he had a chance.

      I have T1, and when my oldest grandson got T1, the other 3 grandkids got screened. The grandson who's the brother of the one with T1, showed a strong possibility of being a future T1 diabetic. It sadly came true about a year later.

      I have LADA, and the idea of screening has not come up, either by me or my adult children. I guess I need to present the opportunity to them so they can make the decision.

      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

      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.

      Have you ever participated in a charity fundraising event that benefitted a diabetes organization (i.e., a walk, marathon, gala, etc.)?
      I have led a team for the JDRF OneWalk annually since the late 1990's. We have been able to raise a lot of funds for JDRF...and I have enjoyed doing it. Good cause!

      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.

      JDRF only. I like knowing that my contributions are going specifically to T1D.

      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.

      Of the people in your life, who (if anyone) makes you feel judged or criticized for your T1D management (for example, what foods you eat, where or when you check your blood glucose, etc.)? Select all that apply to you.
      Hmmm... I'd almost welcome it, another challenge to enjoy?
