      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. Tandem and Medtronic, if you're listening, please remove this function from your pumps.

      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.

    Previous

    If you have T1D, have any of your family members listed below also had T1D? Select all that apply.

    Next

    Health care providers may prescribe medications for other illnesses or indications (like type 2 diabetes medications) that might be helpful for a person’s concern or problem with T1D - commonly called 'off-label use'. Does your provider prescribe you any type 2 diabetes medications 'off-label'? Select all that apply.

    Sarah Howard (nee Tackett) has dedicated her career to supporting the T1D community ever since she was diagnosed with T1D while in college in May 2013. Since then, she has worked for various diabetes organizations, focusing on research, advocacy, and community-building efforts for people with T1D and their loved ones. Sarah is currently the Senior Marketing Manager at T1D Exchange. Sarah and her husband live in NYC with their cat Gracie. In her spare time, she enjoys doing comedy, taking dance classes, visiting art museums, and exploring different neighborhoods in NYC.

      I’m surprised others don’t tend to have more! I have had 4 autoimmune diseases but fortunately T1 is the only major one currently. Two could be treated successfully. I have Scandinavian heritage which I know is prone to autoimmune issues.

      I said 0 because “How would I know” wasn’t an answer option.
      I was diagnosed with IBSDC (Irritable Bowel Syndrome with Diarrhea and Constipation) in 2017 and I have been told both that it IS another autoimmune disease and that it ISN’T anything autoimmune related, so I have been unable to get any definite answer whether my autoimmune disease count stands at 1 or if it should be increased to 2.

      I have been on levothyroxine for about 47 years for my low thyroid which came on about 2-3 years after being diagnosed with T1. Not sure if I have ever heard of Hiroshimoto disease being mentioned for me though. I’ll have to check my medical records to see if my low thyroid is Hiroshimotos or not.

      I had a goiter removed when I was 15 or so (am 65 now), and been on thyroid pills ever since. Was Dx’d w/T1D when I was 58. Tried to get my goiter records, but learned they had been destroyed long ago. Might not have been called Hashimoto’s back then, but those are my symptoms.

        Gluten intolerance = celiac disease. And I forgot my minor arthritis is also auto-immune. If you count occasional pollen allergies as autoimmune, then I’ve got 3 autoimmune diseases in addition to T1D.
