      Have you ever declined a research opportunity? If so, what was the primary reason?
      I turned down a CGM study because the sponsors, a manufacturer, claimed the data would belong to them exclusively. While I may grant use of the data, its mine thank you!

      Requests for my personal information that I don't want to share online.

      How confident do you feel understanding informed consent documents for research studies?
      I understand enough to decide not to participate in the study ... sometimes.

      My fear and concern with those who answer "very confident" and are non-lawyers is that you may be unaware of what Facebook, Google, Amazon, Nvidia, Apple, Microsoft, et al do with your data. As the old saying goes about the capitalist, "Here. Take it. How much money will you give me for this rope you are going to hang me by?"

      While I'm not sure if I had a significant chance of being selected, I declined to further pursue the potential for being considered for the Vertex islet cell study, due to it preventing me from donating blood products for at least the duration of the trial. I'm a passionate platelet donor, and I am okay with living with diabetes in order to be able to continue doing so regularly.

      How often do you experience device fatigue (feeling tired of wearing or managing devices)?
      My only fatigue is figuring out where to put my next pump site since pumping 28 years now

      How often do you experience device fatigue (feeling tired of wearing or managing devices)?
      I get itchy rashes from the tandem canula adhesive, so that makes it more of a burden. I dislike having to report to dexcom when their devices fail. and i do feel tired of wearing a device when i see the double down or double up arrow.. they cause a lot of panic and over compensation (on my part). I'd say.. I'm weary, and honestly feel a little judged, every time I hear a beep or see a high or low number. but that's not the device's fault. I'm happy to use the devices though, they keep me closer to ok! especially during sleep.

      On average, how many hours per week do you spend actively thinking about or managing diabetes tasks?
      Actively thinking about things is only during pump,CGM changes, meals, activities. Which is not many hours in a day. However, it is always running in the back of mind.

      Probably just 1 hr most days. But better questions are: (1) how many times per day & (2) how taxing/draining is it?

      I'm not sure this is something that can be quantified in hours per week? 5 minutes here, 10 minutes there multiple times throughout every day, it adds up. But I don't keep track...it's just life

      It was to test one of the new CGMs that measures ketones in addition to blood sugar. I live in Houston and the research was in Austin. Would have involved many trips to Austin that basically would have spent the promised stipend. In addition, they were going to raise and lower my BS to see if the CGM would measure the ketones correctly. That sure didn't sound enjoyable so I passed.

      I was declined because they only accepted diabetics with an ac1 of 7 or above.

      How important is it to you that research studies include participants who reflect diverse ages, races, and backgrounds?
      Backgrounds matter to a surprising degree. The zip code you live in is better predictor of your heart disease risk than your LDL cholesterol level.

      Backgrounds don’t matter, but ages and races should be considered as those would be factors that could affect outcomes of study. Not diversity for diversity sake, but testing to make sure therapies can work on everyone.

      A civilization that does not care about others isn’t truly civilized.

      Even though we are all one in the human race, we all have a unique physiology. The more people with diverse genders, ages, and races will be the most informative.

      I’ve donated hundreds of dollars to JDRF. Stem cells and genetic research are the best hope in my humble opinion. China leads in stem cell research. I’m willing to be a test subject in experimental technologies. As an old fart what have I got to lose?

      I selected N/A but I thought that I should clarify.
      Unfortunately, I am no longer in a position, financially, where I can make donations of money/gifts, and I can’t get anyone to come and get me out of my hospital bed, which I have at home, and help me wash and dress in preparation to donate time to fundraising.

      Participation in research. I continually look at clinical trials to see if I can be useful for the conditions I have. The more patients and controls the better conditions will be understood.

      I purchase items that local animal rescues have on their Amazon wish list. Amazon then mails them to the organization.
