      How often do you take a “vacation” from wearable diabetes technology (insulin pump, CGM)?
      Is a 1/2 hour a vacation? On those magic days when the pump and sensor need to be changed at the same time, I might take a "naked" shower where I don't have to worry about scrubbing one or the other off, but that's about it.

      To what extent does diabetes technology reduce day-to-day stress for you?
      CGM is great, but sometimes too much data is stressful. All the pressure to be in range is a new numerical stress with statistical worries added on. The worries were always present, but nowadays they are front and center.

      Krisit, the struggle's are real, and the ridiculous codes, makes us have to be Pharmaceutical experts. I'm a fan of the devices, but not the issues that come up when we try to fill them. Trying to travel, during a period when you are supposed to receive them, means you may have to go back to MDI. I tried to order some before a trip,, and they said they'd send them early, but that didn't happen. It's crazy, what we have to navigate to get our devices.

      I selected “ somewhat” because sometimes when it works, it’s fantastic but sometimes when it doesn’t work is a nightmare. It is either your best friend or your worst enemy.

      You’re not alone, I agree and feel similar and bet many of us do!

      I put somewhat since sometimes the technology adds stress (eg. Won’t connect, or alarms that tell me what I already know and am in the middle of treating)

      How much do you agree with the following statement: “The financial costs of diabetes are a burden for me (or my family).”
      If I did not have diabetes I'd be a multimillionaire! All the money spent on diabetes care, supplies, etc invested in this disease since 1969!!! 😑 Yes, diabetes is a very expensive disease!

      Only when the pump or sensor fails & I'm not with the next replacement. Not really a vacation. (I've had them fail on vacation, too.)

      Never. I have severe hypoglycemic unawareness. No symptoms even at glucose levels of 40.

      Being on a pump and CGM is not something I would want to be without no matter what. The only way I would ever consider it being a vacation a life long vacation is if I was cured of T1D.

      I never take a vacation from my pump. But I often do with my CGM because it fails so often.

      I took one once when I was on vacation at a beach resort and used Lantus and Novolog pens, but I kept my CGM on. It was kinda nice...

      What's the alternative? MDI? No thanks. That did not work well for me when I was Dx-ed 35 years ago. I have kept my old 770 Medtronic pump and some resivors & infusion sets to fall back on.

      Of course I did! When my hands are busy in art materials, my pump tells me what the time is.

      Yes, I changed my pump time but forgot to change the time on the car and was confused for a couple of days!

      I didn’t update this time because I failed to last fall and it is now correct again. Normally I do change it each spring and fall.

      They automatically updated the time. I really didn’t have to do anything.

      Yes, a day late but I did eventually remember pump and glucometer. Going from Medtronic to Tandem T-slim and Dexcom G7 next week. I hope things go smoothly. Taking a trip in May and I wanted a close loop system and not as many finger sticks for that.

        Tandem/Dex G7 are not a closed loop system. They are a hybrid system, only Lowers Glucose. Closed loop means Raising and Lowering glucose and that is only done by a normal body.

      I selected “No, but I need to” but that’s because I live in the UK (United Kingdom of Great and Britain and Northern Ireland) and our BST (British Summer Time) doesn’t start until Sunday, 31st March 2024.
