      And sometimes I dream that I’ve run out of insulin and cannot get prescription refilled.

      I providee an answer of low BG. But with that said, it is usually a false alarm (compression low from Dexcom sensor) With the stable bedtime BG and a TSlim X2 pump using CIQ and Sleep Mode, I consistently sleep between about 85 and 110 every night. The key to this is going to bed with a stable BG (85-110) and not having any IOB.

      While middle-of-the-nght alerts are frustrating and irritating, I'm no longer terrified of dying from an extreme low in the middle of the night, so technology is still a win for me!

      The same as Carrolyn Barloco. I often get messages in the middle of the night that my blood glucose level was either high or low 2, 3, or 4 hours ago. This is a completely useless piece of information, and absolutely NO REASON to wake me up. This is nothing but an ANNOYING alert.

      I wake up with physical effects of lows. Odd thing is that if I am dreaming, I will often have the same effects within my dream. Like I will be on a plane to some exotic location and start searching for snacks! Does this happen to anyone else?

      Have you developed lipohypertrophy due to repeated injections/infusions of insulin? Lipohypertrophy is a term to describe hardened lumps of body fat just under the skin that resulted from repeated insulin injections/infusion sites. If so, share how you’ve handled lipohypertrophy in the comments!
      I stopped using those sites and paid more attention to rotation of available ones.

      I no longer consider it to be a daily burden. After living with it in my body for almost 60 years it is what it is – a complex 24/7 self care duty. I do what I need to do to experience all the beauty and wonder that a satisfying life has to offer. And I give thanks everyday for the gift of life.

      24/7/365 for the rest of your life. It’s a full time job you didn’t apply for, don’t get paid for with no time off from. Worse yet, you can’t quit. This constant crush can certainly lead to diabetes burnout.

      The first thing that came to mind was “life altering.” When I think about the many decisions in my life, my diabetes care always gets factored in. It’s not just diabetes, but other autoimmune issues as well. Such as, celiac disease, constantly factoring into my eating and social habits. It is a lifestyle that is often misunderstood by others who don’t have these limitations. Depending upon the circumstances, it is all of the word choices, except “impossible.”

      As I’ve said for many years it can only get better depending on your point of view. It’s truly what you make of it and fortunately for anyone who’s fairly name at the T1D lifestyle much easier to manage with the right open minded doctor and more importantly the right equipment. Got to love the recent advancements with CGM and infusion just a few more improvements and it will almost be like not being a diabetic, yea right for us living with diabetes as the old saying there’s two certainties in life death a taxes and for those with diabetes three the never ending need for insulin which equates to $$$$.

      No burden at all. My diabetes has very little impact on my daily life anymore. I take 2-3 injections per day (often the same amount of insulin every day), which I compare to as much burden as brushing my teeth.
      I eat good delicious food, exercise when I want to and have no other “classic” diabetic injuries. HbA1c in non-diabetic range.

      T1D since 1981, keto/LCHF (<20 gr carb/day) since 2010.

      Before 2010, my life was very much affected, with constant "highs and lows", early eye problems, 80% more insulin compared to today, eating-planning-fixing with the roller coaster bg values. So glad those days are gone…

      Choices are incomplete. Challenges are minimal. Except for insulin made much easier with pumps and CGMs a little monitoring and adjusting for activity. Exercise and eating properly same as everyone else.

      The 3 C’s: constant, challenging and complex best describe for me what the daily burden of T1D success is all about. I chose these over their synonyms because I’m optimistic and want to stay away from terms that connote failure because in spite of the constant, challenging and complex nature of T1D, we can do this, we are doing this, we are learning daily the nuance and variables of our T1D management and striving towards our success.

      Perfection does not exist; stay positive, learn, move forward, REPEAT.

      I wish the question had been worded a bit differently, using “management” instead of “burden” so as not to prime respondents to answer from a negative bias.

      When D management goes smoothly–no pump issues, blood glucose in range, adequate time to pre-bolus–then day-to-day management is just something I know I need to do. When I’m coping with post-exercise lows or unexplained highs, then taking care of my T1D can indeed feel burdensome or troublesome.

      Burdensome and challenging were up there for me. I take it in stride since I have been doing this for close to 50 years, but it can be challenging since my day to day activities can change so figuring out how much insulin I may need is not always easy. Always having to check your blood sugar level to see if it is advisable to eat or exercise now or later. Knowing if you exercised enough during the day that I may have to change my pump setting for the night. Remembering to turn on and off the activity setting at the correct times when deciding I want to go for a walk. There are just so many variables in a life that affect how much insulin I may need. I am so thankful for pumps and cgms.

      I am always striving to do my best and that gets tiring at the worst of times. I’ve been eating one meal a day for a while and my blood sugars are much more in line- eating according to ada just made me slave to my insulin and I felt like beef being prepared for market.

      You sure set up a negative mindset by using the term daily burden. T1D actually saved my life! I was in a kidney study and due to frequent blood draws the staff noticed my rbc’s were increasing. Long story short, I had a renal tumor (unrelated to T1D) that they thought was stage 4 but turned out to be stage 3a. I’m down one Kidney now but I’m still living my best life!

      I was dx’d while in my late 20’s in 1976. In my 45 years living with Type 1, I’ve concluded that the only “constant” of Type 1 diabetes is that it will be variable. What works on one day, may not work the next. We need to monitor our BGs and adapt accordingly. The more knowledge we acquire about diabetes and how it affects us, the better prepared we become to take the needed actions to control and manage our disease. Luckily, the tools and technology we now have make that easier than it was 45 years ago. I’m not happy that I have diabetes but I’ve accepted my diagnosis, tried to learn as much as possible about it and am determined to make those lifestyle choices that may help me avoid its debilitating complications.

      Challenging, complex, complicated: the big 3, as someone else mentioned. That’s because of my personality type and how I view the world in general. 【 ͡❛ ͜ʖ ͡❛】

      However, unlike others, I invariably first read the answers trying to guess which question is being asked. I assumed the question was about the burden of navigating the American health care system. 【 ͠❛ ⍨ ͠❛ 】

      I chose 24/7, constant, and challenging.

      I need to pay attention constantly to my insulin and BG or it can go out of control. This may happen at times for unknown reasons, but as long as supplies are available my BG can be controlled.

      This condition and it’s cause is understood, which I am very grateful for! It can be controlled. I would rather have T1D than so many other conditions if I had the choice.

      I don’t consider T1D a burden. It’s simply a medical condition that my genes set me up for. The constant management of it isn’t a burden, either. What other chronic condition can be managed so closely? The ability to manage it at all is a gift that has prolonged my life, and the technology to facilitate that management has been steadily improving. But I also recognize that not everyone with T1D has access to that technology, and that needs to change!

      I’m struck by the fact that all of your descriptors are negative, or at least border on negative. I guess that you could describe T1D as “relentless,” but I chose to use the “constant” choice. Even there, I am not focused on it every minute of the day. It is something that I have in the back of my mind most of the time, and use the data I have to manage my blood glucose level.

        In addition, I’m wondering why you didn’t include descriptors such as “satisfying” or “feeling of accomplishment” in the list. I get positive feedback when I keep my glucose levels where I want them.

      I agree with other that calling it a “daily burden” is not the best. The three answers I chose are challenging, complex and complicated. I don’t think anyone would disagree that Type 1 is any of those three. I can count my carbs to the gram but some days my bolus seems to be too little and other days too much. It could be complex because I ignored the fat & protein and focused only on the carbs. Complicated because I might be under a lot of stress, or due to hormones. So many factors make T1D challenging.

      45 years ago I had a nervous breakdown and was told that it “burned out” my pancreas but for 20 years I could eat and drink whatever I wanted with one shot of NPH and one shot of regular….knew what my blood sugar was always without a test, never was ill from it in any way and had NO complications. Until I caught a Norovirus, was in ICU for three days and have been disregulated for the last6 years. The J&J vaccine caused my blood sugars to yo yo between 30 and 500 for 68 days. I have recov ered from that but still can only eat a very limited diet.

      I would also say the seizures that comes from having too many lows and high. Unfortunately I am a uncontrolled diabetic and in the past 7 years have seizures from my disease.

      Using a DIY Loop with Omnipod and Dexcom I selected Challenging because regardless of the mode of delivery, using insulin and trying to be a pancreas without the tools that a pancreas has is challenging but none of the other words worked. I would have used “routine”,

      I use TSlim Control IQ which has definitely decreased the the. burden. But until we have at least a working cure diabetes is always there 24/7

      there may be shades of difference, but it seems to me that “24/7, unrelenting, relentless, and perhaps constant are more or less synonymous. maybe constant has a little less emotional shading.

      I don’t describe it as a burden at all. It’s just something I have always dealt with all my my since I was diagnosed as a diabetic at 9mos old. I don’t ever remember not having diabetes, so it is just a part of my everyday life. To me it’s more like this is just normal. Not a burden at all.

      My daily burden is my high and lows even with the cgm and always when I’m trying to do something like sewing it drives me crazy

      The daily burden – nonexistent.
      I was diagnosed at age 10 in 1984 and what can I say, nothing in the list made sense to me to select. My treatment is not perfect but it is automatic. Very little conscious thought to it most days. I don’t worry about numbers (carb counts, A1C, blood glucose) but pay attention to how my body feels and react accordingly. I sometimes think we are taught to get too caught up with the numbers and that driving for perfect is the only way to treat. Yes it can be annoying when low blood sugar happens at an inconvenient time or you’re trying to figure out how to carry snack/insulin with you when you don’t have a pocket and you’re not in the mood to bring a bag … that’s all minor stuff to me.

      It’s the disease that never lets you forget it’s there. With better tools like glucometers and insulin pumps it’s come a long way. However, it’s always in the back of your mind, especially when eating.

      Hum…… In reality I could have selected all the options that were provided. T1 is a disease you wake up with, live through the day with, and you go to bed with (not to mention the number of days during the week it interrupts your sleep and wakes you up to just remind you….. YOU HAVE DISABETES……) OK, crying over…, suck it up and get back to the battle 🙂

      Since I don’t feel my lows or highs it gets difficult the cgm goes of like all day having uncontrollable diabetes but I try to keep it manageable
