      If you have T1D, have you ever dated or married someone who also has T1D?
      I fell in love with an insulin-dependent Type 2 20 years ago. There’s something terribly romantic about taking Lantus together at the end of the day.

      Do you feel that your T1D healthcare provider understands the daily challenges and work that goes into living with T1D?
      One time I was explaining that a new pump would be too expensive at the time because my deductible had just started over.. and she asked if I had insurance and I said yes….. then she said “then it should be free with insurance.” 🤦‍♀️ She may know a little about the challenges of living with diabetes, but she knows nothing about how insurance works or how costly T1D supplies are.

      I am an RN. Been going to same doctor for about ten years. Took me six years to train him. I am very well read when it comes to my LADA. He trusts my judgement and gives me excellent parameters to make decisions. Recently had a bad case of Covid. Insulin needs changed dramatically. Getting back to normal but he made sure I had scripts to cover my ups and downs with insulin needs.

      Mine acknowledges the struggles and challenges that go along with managing T1D in my daily life. She gives suggestions as to what may or may not help and has often asked me I how I handle situations so she can give suggestions to other T1D patient's.

      None of my endocrinologists or NPs have had T1D but I always discuss my challenges and they are incredibly helpful. What I always find astonishing is they are constantly amazed at how well I’m doing even when i don’t think I’m doing that well because most of their patients have nowhere near the A1c’s I’m able to achieve. And just hovers in the 6’s!

      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!
      The hard spots are fairly frequent with the pump infusion sets. Especially if I go past 3 days which I try to avoid! I don’t think I ever got one from injections. I try heat and massaging to treat them and they normally go away after a day or so. Once I had a large area that I had to treat with antibiotics.

      Have you experienced any symptoms of physical sexual dysfunction as a result of having diabetes, or having diabetes-related complications?
      I’m 79. My last orgasm was springtime about 3 or 4 years ago. When I complained of ED, my PCP Rxd 3 to 5 (60-100 mg) sildenafil tablets by mouth about one hour prior to sexual activity. This alone hasn’t worked to bring me up to former sexual capacity that I had 10 years years ago. I’m still considering consulting finding a doctor who’ll prescribe a safe but effective way of administering testosterone or an anabolic steroid in a dose low enough to avoid causing cardiovascular problems but high enough to restore normal ability that I had up to my sixties. My present doctors say it can’t be done, but there are doctors who advertise otherwise. Analogs of the hormone insulin can be delivered in small safe doses, why not testosterone?

      We are all so very different, and trying to say that all of us with T1 understand what it's like for another who has the same hill to climb is unproductive. Having a health care provider with T1 may often be helpful just because there's apt to be more knowledge about the specifics. How we respond to the disease is such a personal matter, that I really don't think there are any guaranteed benefits beyond the grasp of the factual. Finding a doc with the same general attitude about the disease does feel good, and sometimes that's all I hope for after working hard to make peace with the disease for 70 years. Asking my doc to "get it" used to be almost my mantra, but I've come to realize that the ones who don't just see us as unruly childrenchildren

      Both my endocrinologist and my nurse practitioner are great. They compliment me on the way I take care of my life and health and make aure I get all the supplies I need managing all the paperwork Medicare and insurance requires. My nurse practitioner who works with me on managing the pump has her own opinion about the pump settings based on her technical knowledge which is different than what I do with my settings based on living with them. She has thru the years learned to respect what I do and is surprised with how my settings work. So we are now at peace. Both very supportive.

      Hi Connie, I still have my glass syringe and show it off occasionally. We boiled the needle and syringe every morning and sharpened the needle with a file. I was diagnosed at age 6 in 1963. Life is so different now! Then, my diet was extremely limited as was my exercise. Now, I am very active and eat pretty much as I please. I maintain an A1C in the low 6s (6.2 was my last).

      Connie and Beth, I was diagnosed in Nov 1962, age 10. During the early years I developed lumps and indentations on my upper thighs from my injections. In fact, I was able t o spot other t1 kids in my junior high school based upon the lumps in their upper arms.. (I eventually met up with them and learned that I was correct.) By the time I reached my twenties, these indentations had more or less disappeared, but I still have remnants of the lumps. I wish I could say that the layers of tissue now deposited on my legs disguises them, but they don't. I think the changes in insulin have been responsible for this improvement: the isolation and purification of animal insulins were refined, and then the various human clones were game changers in many ways.

      Yes in my upper arms when I was a petite and skinny child in the 1960s with T1D. In those days we used glass syringes with stainless steel 1/2 inch long heavy gauge needles. My mother would jab me in the upper arms, it hurt like the dickens, and I developed several hard nodules. I was diagnosed at age 8 in December 1962 and after the initial two months of her jabbing me in the upper arms, I took over giving my own "shots" and started self injecting via site rotation in my thighs for several years. Eventually the lipohypertrophy in my upper arms resolved and I never injected there again until many years later as an adult on MDI using disposable syringes with very short and fine gauge needle tips. Periodically I would give my tired pin cushion thighs a rest and take a break for a few months or a couple of years and rotate injections in my abdomen or upper arms. Have been using a pump for over 20 years now and rarely use MDI unless I am taking a pump break for a short period of time. Happily, I no longer have lumpy sites.

      It would be more convenient than the scanner (one less thing in my pockets while at work), but I don’t like that with the Libre you have to pick one or the other for each sensor. I’d like to be able to use both (so I have a backup in case one runs out of charge or breaks or gets left a home). I also read some pretty bad reviews of the app and I don’t want to get stuck with something that doesn’t work for 2 weeks, so I’ve just kept using the scanner.

      I said “a little important”. I don’t take my phone with me when I’m around the house. So, I don’t look at it much. When I am out shopping or in the car, I have my phone with me. Usually, I check my blood glucose on my pump. However, the T Connect program has more information, and more convenient, such as Time in Range, time of the last bolus, when my sensor was started, etc. So, the phone is convenient. So, it is a little important to me. But, generally, I go directly to my pump, because it is with me all of the time.

      It’s very important, but nearly as important as being able to view and have data used by my Insulin Pump. Therefore I will not even consider switching from Dexcom G6 to the new G7 system UNTIL AFTER Tandem announces that they have the tSlim Pumps made fully compatible with the Dexcom G7 system! Until that happens, I will NOT consider switching to the newer more compact Dexcom G7!!!

      Having to carry around another receiver device means yet another thing to keep track of and take with you everywhere. Having it all in my phone just makes life easier — and it hugely reduces the likelihood that I’ll leave the house without the ability to read my blood sugar.

      I’m with those who use their Tandem X2 pump to receive the Dexcom data. I still (I’m reired now) consider the mobile phone to be a short leash (I was on call alot when working). Using my pump as the receiver means just one device – and it is attached to me. I don’t want to have to get one of those leather tool belts from the hardware store to carry all the stuff. Sometimes I’ll leave the phone at home when running errands just to have time to myself!

      I really don’t like feeling a need to be connected to the “social universe” and am very happy that it’s not necessary to pair my pump with my phone. Pings and beeps don’t improve my life, and I try to remember when a phone meant a call from a friend, not my life blood. But don’t get me wrong: I love what technology is accomplishing, just not when it tries to replace what’s nice about being a human being. Such as remembering to check my blood sugar, all on my own, because I know it’s vital.

        How do you ask Siri for this information? I have the Dexcom app, and am therefore able to see my SG profile on my watch, but haven’t found the magic phrase for getting my sensor glucose (or “blood glucose”) level through Siri. That would be really useful.

        In the Dexcom phone app settings, there’s an option called “Siri Shortcuts.” Tapping that option gives you the opportunity to set up a Siri question (i.e., “Hey Siri, What’s my number?” ) The same cue will work with your Apple watch. There is a separate Shortcuts app, but some apps, like the Dexcom app, allow you to set up a shortcut within the app settings.

      Having to carry 2 or 3 different cell phone-sized devices is ridiculous and I’ll not do it if there’s an alternative. Better than cell phone would be direct to a smart-watch via BT. What I can’t figure out is how/why ANY CGM or pump manufacturer would put out a device and THEN start the production of the software to support it via a cell phone…ala the Omnipod 5 and iPhone, what non-sense!!

      Important. My G6 displays on my Tandem pump, which is always accessible, so it’s not necessary to have readings on my phone or even be able to bolus with it. It’s a convenience, but a pain when both the pump and the phone are sounding alerts!

      As I’m sure I’ve written before, my answer is all three of very important, not important, and I prefer not to see on my phone. Currently it is very important because my Dexcom is not working right and needs to be replaced but the replacement is taking a long time. Under normal circumstances, it would be not important to be able to see the readings on my phone and I’d rather not.

      It’s not earth shaking because I can see the level on my pump thats always with me. It’s only convenient if I’m busy with other activities and have additional reason to have my charged phone with me. Unlike many others, my nose is not constantly buried in my phone.

      My libre scanner fits into a pocket. My phone does not. My phone needs re-charging at least daily. So, if I want to go walking, I feel confidant with my libre and some glucose tablets in my pocket. My other option would be to use a lanyard arrangement, wearing my phone around my neck, etc. Quite frankly, I would be inclined to turn the phone off when I am walking anyway.

      I am a parent of TD1, and travel for work. It have been essential that I can view her numbers on my phone to assist her and her caregiver that is there with her. It also allows my husband to ‘take a break’ and relax knowing I will call and tell him if she needs a correction.

      It is not so much important as it is convenient, as I can glance at my phone, pulled from my pocket, easier than looking at my pump unclipped from my belt. As a side note, I have been unhappy with the tandem belt clip as it seems to be pulled off my belt all too often and then has to reside in my pocket.

      I got my first dexcom about 6 or 7 years ago and immediately connected it to my iPhone. In fact I was the first diabetic in my endocrinologists office to share my info. The tech department had to figure out how to connect. Who needs another thing to carry around?

      While I understand how a phone could be more convenient, I don’t use a phone enough to remember to carry it. Also, it doesn’t keep a charge very well.
      So, if I had to carry my phone, I’d have to _carry_ my phone (it won’t fit in my front pockets) and I’d be more likely to lose it because, eventually, I’d have to set it down somewhere.
      I like having my receiver in my pockets and I don’t have to struggle with which app to use to see my BS numbers. I just hit one button and there they are.
      But, that’s me… and, I’m a bit of a luddite anyway! :p

      It’s important to me because the information automatically sent to my doctor’s office. Currently app is down, 🙄 Hopefully it will be up and running soon.

      Important but not very important. I always have on my pump so the phone is not absolutely necessary, but considering the alarms on my phone are louder than the alarms on my pump, it is nice to use my phone while sleeping so I will be awakened more easily if a low should occur.

      I look at my pump for my numbers about 80% of the time and my phone the other 20%.

      Very important to see the readings on the phone. We all carry our phones these days, so it is much better than getting under coats, etc and unclipping the pump. BIG PLUS to Phone integration….. is the ability to ask Siri to tell me my CGM reading (and app also tells the trend arrow). It integrates to my car, so I can push a button on the steering wheel, ask for glucose and the car verbally announces reading and trend. BEST FEATURE EVER!

      Very important, as the app is the way I connect to CareLink, which allows my sister to be a Care Partner and help me if I have missed an alert for a low. She has saved my life multiple times by being sure I am treating a low or have woken up to do so.

    If you use a CGM, how important is it to you that you are able to view your CGM readings on a smartphone? Cancel reply
