      On a scale of 1-5, how much does T1D impact decisions you make in other areas of your life?
      I said "5". T1D is a part of every decision I make, large or small. It affects what and when I eat. It affect when I can do something, or do I need to make a glucose adjustment. Sometimes it affects where I can go. It affects how I approach an obstacle or an endeavor. Basically, it pervades every facet of my life.

      How well does your T1D healthcare provider keep you informed about new devices and therapies available to you?
      Keep us posted Bill!

      When you’re at work or school, how comfortable do you feel checking your glucose or taking insulin in front of others?
      I felt very comfortable doing blood tests and taking insulin. Usually, I was able to do it privately. But, when privacy was not available, I did what I needed to do.

      In the beginning of my diabetes “career”, I was very uncomfortable with checking my BG or giving injections. Now it doesn’t bother me at all!

      Ianswered very compfortable, as I had workded with the same group of people for many years. It is no longer an issue as I have adopted Dexcom G7 CGM and Omnipod 5 pump so such reviews and insulin injections are handled discreetly through my phone and pump controller.

      Because I wear a Dexcom and have an Apple watch, I often tell people ahead of time, while in a meeting or out to eat, that when I'm looking at my watch, I'm checking my blood sugars and not checking the time. I've had people ask me when I check my watch, 'do you need to go somewhere?' So I nip it in the bud by telling them ahead of time.

      I used to hide everything, especially when in a restaurant/ dining situation. I’d even go to the bathroom to check bg and take insulin. Then one day, after someone said something like, “Do you have to do that at the table?” I said, “Where would YOU like ME to go? I need to do this to be able to eat. Do you want me to go to the bathroom, the most unsanitary room in the building to perform a medical procedure so that you’re not inconvenienced? Seriously. How about next time, I’ll announce it and give you the opportunity to get up and walk away.” After that, I’ve never felt uncomfortable treating my T1D whenever and wherever I need to.

      I am now retired, wear a DexCom G6 so checking BG is simply looking at my IPhone. I also have a pump, so insulin delivery is not an issue.

      Now, I am very comfortable with it. When I was younger, however, I was not comfortable at all. I would always go into a bathroom so others wouldn't watch me. Glad I got over that in my late 20s/early 30s!

      I know some folks are concerned about revealing their condition. I’m older, retired, and pretty much given up being concerned who knows and doesn’t. I am aware some people are squeamish about shots and needles especially around kids, so I play it by ear if I need to give an injection, attach a new pod, etc. The one thing that gets me is those that expect me to use a bathroom out someplace; most aren’t well maintained, let alone have surfaces needed to hold the things needed. I view it as an opportunity to have a conversation and educate people if comments or looks are received most of the time.

      T1D is me and impacts every area of my life. I don't stress or obsess over it, but it's there all the time.

      As others have said, it (almost) never affects what I do, just how I do it.
