      Which of the following can make exercising more challenging for you? (Select all that apply)
      As an avid hiker, climber and mountaineer my challenges are mostly weather related. Is my pump warm enough, are my extra supplies warm enough, is my insulin starting to freeze.

      Which of the following is the most important to you when choosing diabetes devices or supplies?
      I chose Cost or coverage. Because if you can't afford it, the rest doesn't matter.

      I was taking metformin at the beginning of this journey, because at 40 they assumed T2. (No family history, not overweight, was running 3-4 miles 2-3x week). Put on insulin when endo diagnosed me with LADA.

      I would like to say accuracy, but if it’s not covered and I can’t afford it, then it’s not happening.

      Hard to say only one is most important. I would not use any device that was problematic on any of these except with a minor level of discomfort/wearability. Maybe the better question is ask to rank these or ask if any are unimportant …

      What kind of diabetes-related support would be most helpful to you right now?
      Funny you should ask, and I'm with Amanda Barras - dealing with the US insurance and networks system. I switched health plans, effective 1/1/26. My old plan stopped processing Rx's two weeks before (Rx's for pump and CGM supplies). With the network system in US healthcare, I can't see a doctor until September. Since I have different coverage for my supplies (including insulin) I need new Rx's. Having to check in often to see if their are open appointments from cancellations, and trying to see if a Zoom care or Urgent care will provide "bridge refills". My old health plan will not issue bridge refills. I 'spose it isn't strictly a T1D issue - but it's one that unites all of us with chronic medical conditions (and chronic poor medical service)

      For me, a “cruise director” for long-term Type 1 diabetes or chronic illness would be most beneficial — someone who looks at the whole person. General practitioners are increasingly rare, and specialists tend to work in silos, often without coordinating care, considering overlapping conditions, or cross-checking medications and prognoses. What’s needed is a knowledgeable care coordinator who understands long-term Type 1 diabetes, can help interpret conflicting specialist advice, guide patients toward the right specialist for specific symptoms (for example, whether migrating burning pain is diabetes-related or not), and maintain referral lists of providers who already understand how long-term diabetes affects their specialty.

      How often do you review your glucose data beyond quick, real-time checks?
      Monthly to quarterly. Depending on control. If I notice more highs or lows I’ll copy check for trends and make dosing adjustments to straighten myself out. I almost never wait for appts to review and make changes on my own.

      “At appointments” was the best option for me, my medical appointments are only every 6 months, so this definition really means appointments with myself! I check my bg all the time, then review trends every 2-3 months, depending on the need. I’ve been traveling quite a bit so my need to review and make pump (AID) adjustments has been more frequent.

      I do not have a “fear” of low glucose, but a healthy awareness. So, I always have glucose tabs on hand and check blood sugars during exercise.

      If I am below 100 and haven't eaten recently or I am below 100 and trending downward, I eat and suspend pump before walking my dogs. Sometimes I have to postpone walks or intentionally plan them after a meal in order to prevent a low.

      I answered wrong. I said no. ☹️ But the correct answer is yes. I got a $45 dollar (complete tuition) scholarship to the University of Illinois from 1965-1069. Had to renew it every semester, but, boy, what a benefit from the state of Illinois. ✌️

        @Ahh Life. I’m hoping that was a typo, sir, or you’d be older than Adam (from the Bible) was. 😉

        Mick Martin–I love typos. Actually some younger folks think I am slightly older than Methuselah.
