      At T1D Exchange, we work to improve the lives of people with T1D through research. If you could ask a T1D scientist anything about research, what questions would you want answered? Share in the comments, and your question may be featured in an upcoming article!
      Why aren't there more studies on heart disease risk with only T1Ds? I have read peer reviewed medical articles that confirm that T1Ds were not studied exclusively in statin research. We were advised to be treated with statins even if our cholesterol was excellent and there were no other risk factors. I suffered from elevated A1c, weight gain, insulin resistance, extremely low cholesterol which led to vitamin D deficiency which caused respiratory problems and inability to exercise or enjoy leisure activities due to breathlessness and muscle pain. Doctors believed that any symptoms reported by patients were due to the "Nocebo effect" despite my improvement when I didn't take statins for six months when I forgot to refill my prescription! I suffered these side effects from 2002-2016 when I finally found a doctor who took me seriously. We need to be treated as individuals with T1D, not treated based on studies on the majority of T2 studies.

      At the time of your T1D diagnosis, did you already personally know anyone who had T1D?
      Yes, my dad had T1. My diagnosi made him and my mom so sad. I tried hard to make it no big deal so they wouldn’t worry.

      I always try to do some type of exercise for 30/45 minutes everyday!

      I checked “often”. However, it could be “always”. I’m sure there must be a week here or there where I was unable to get my exercise in. I don’t like to check “always or never” boxes. Learned that in school.

      I had to put “often” because lately, due to all the heavy smoke from the surrounding forest fires in my part of the world, it’s very unhealthy to do anything outdoors for very long. When the smoke is gone, my very big dog takes me for walks almost daily. Our little loop is over two miles, has hills, but she pulls me along during either smoke or snow. šŸ˜

      Since the change to eating LCHF I’ve gotten the strength to exercise more. Currently my minimum goal is to have at least 420 minutes of training per week (i.e in average 1 hour training/day).
      That goal I have now been holding on to for 5 years, currently working on the 6th year, with no exception in any week during this time. It is a lot easier to exercise when you know your blood sugar is always stable.

      I don’t carb load or anything, and prefer to exercise in the mornings after a night’s fasting.

      I engage in moderate physical activity on a daily basis with d-i-y projects; planting, weeding, and harvesting garden tasks; canning & preserving the garden harvest; leisure walking a few times a week (weather permitting) and plenty of assorted household chores. Two to three times a week I do a Silver Sneakers Zoom fitness session. Plus I am physically active at a service related part-time job 20 hours a week. How much time is that? I haven’t kept track – life is so busy I don’t have time to keep track!

      I walk my dogs daily plus some degree of yard work at least 1x a week. So, 20-30 min of mild-moderate exercise a day!

        Me too, Amanda. Weather permitting. I have had to scale back some activity in the summer heat. It just sucks my energy away.

      Many days I reach 150 minutes- I like to walk, hike, bike, attend cycle classes as well as strength classes at the Y. Moving makes me feel healthy. Not running anymore but I ran over 40,000 miles in a 20 year period including about 300 road races. I might still be running if I hadn’t broken my neck in 5 places.

      I was prescribed cardiac rehab and have been going twice a week for the last couple of months. I enjoy it while I am there, but don’t like to exercise other than that.

      Read somewhere that work doesn’t count. I tear out ceilings, walls, and floors taking that to a dumpster or truck. I also walk my attack pull almost a mile twice a day

        I sort of have the opposite problem. I exercise everyday, but exercise is the hardest thing about managing my diabetes. Since it causes many times my sugar to go low while exercising and my sugar rebounds and goes high after I am finished exercising. I just do the best I can to keep it under control because I feel the benefits to my body (heart, lungs etc.) are worth the extra work it takes to keep my sugar under control.

      I was on the USAF 5BX / 10BX aerobic program starting in 1971. It consisted of at least 30 minutes of vigorous aerobic exercise (mostly walking) several times per week.

      As age, arthritis, and other debilitating effects of longevity set in – They will, folks, with 100% certainty – my exercise regimen has been descoped to roughly 150 hours per week, whenever and wherever I can get.

      My extensive record keeping reflects a roughly 50% reduction in the quantity of exercise. When that’s the best you can do, I simply keep plugging along like the little engine that could. ā„ (─‿‿─)

      I said “often” because I work a rotating night shift meaning the nights I work this week are supposed to be my nights off the following week, so working 4 nights one week, 3 nights the following week, 12 hours per shift, and I’m walking almost constantly at work the full 12 hours so I easily get over 150 minutes PER NIGHT of moderate to intense aerobic activity at work. There’s absolutely no need for any health club membership with jobs like I’ve had for the past 38 years!!!

      Most of the time, I do get 150 min per week. If humidity and heat are high, then I may miss the 150 min goal
