      With the comments I see here there should be more research about aging with T1d. Just an idea…

      I do not qualify for most surveys and when I do, they want private information I do not want to give them, because I do not know how secure their computers ate.

      You get very few opportunities to volunteer when you're over 75.

      Only a few. Mainly blood tests and surveys. The others often have restrictions that don’t allow me to participate.

      Have you ever participated in diabetes-related research?
      I participated in the Look Ahead program by Brown University and Miriam Hospital. It was about diabetes, heart disease and weight control. I was in the control group and the first year I gained weight and found out I had heart disease. The stress test at the beginning of the trial showed an abnormality, so I already had a cardiologist when I needed my first of 16 stents.

      I participated in Tandem's trial for ControlIQ and several Dexco. Adhesive trials. Long ago I participated in a study for non-invasive blood glucose testing using a technique called Ramen Spectrum Analysis using different frequenciesof light, that trial could not raise funds to continue.

      Various studies at the Joslin Clinic, the first one back in 2010-2011 for CGMs to be covered by medical insurance companies. I also have done a pizza study to determine how to gauge the longer response by the body to eating pizzas with all its fats.

      Several times. Found out that my pancreas is about 25% of the size it “ought to be” for someone my age. Who knew? Just turned down an opportunity to transform into a lab rat for 8 months on tests of a new insulin product. Weekly clinic visits, four finger sticks a day, two additional devices to tote around and a change in CGM brand. Sorry, not for me.

      I’ve participated in a couple different ones. One was muscle biopsies on the legs…looking at how long term diabetes may affect muscles. Another on different pumps

      I have taken surveys about diabetes care and participate in All of US DNA research and I am doing that now answering these questions each day.

      How important is diabetes research to you?
      Due to age, etc, it probably won't benefit me personally but it's extremely important for the future! After all, isn't T1D going to be cured within 5 - 10 years? ;)

      Strange question—all insulin development, medical devices — e.g. CGMS, pumps, etc are all research products. Would I rather go back to the starvation diet I was given and pills that didn’t work?

      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?

      At an age where money is the only thing being given. But, giving and generosity are good for the body, mind, and soul. ( ͡❛ ͜ʖ ͡❛)

      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.
