      In your opinion, how helpful is it to see a mental health professional who has a deep understanding of lifelong health conditions?
      I really think it just depends on the person who needs help. Some people may find it extremely useful and others may not find them of much help.

      I said helpful because unless they actually have first hand knowledge of your health condition they can't really know.

      Back in the 80's I was in an NIH study. But I think now my age (72) ages me out) and my A1C's (5.4-5.8 for the past 20 years or so) exclude me.

      How many people in your household live with T1D?
      I am the only one in my household who has T1D, but both husband and I live with it.

      I always find questions like this one intriguing. I am the one and only T1D in my family, both sides, going up, down, and wide on my family tree. Then there are T1D warriors in this group (and others on social media) where the T1D with whom I'm interacting has children with T1D, parents, and aunts and uncles as well. In a sense, the data like this are suggesting more than one cause for T1D, possibly multiple conditions that result in T1D.

      ALL of them are forced, given a seat at my T1D "table" whether they wish to be or not. They endure my experiences, their after-effects, the events themselves. Living with us, they are unwilling voyeurs/particip[ents This appears to be a badly worded question. If you meant, does anybody living with you ALSO have the disease T1D as well, you should have asked it that way. The question you kids wrote asks a far different question, by semantic accident it appears....?

      I answered "1" as I have T1D. However, it could be said that if any one person has T1D, everyone in the household is living with T1D. It affects everyone in house, not just the person with it.

      I have never felt the need to see a mental health professional who has an understanding of lifelong health conditions. I've been T1D for 55 years, but no significant additional diabetic related issues, and have suffered no mental health issues.

      Seeing a mental health professional is essential to T1D’s when needed if you want to maintain your healthy relationships with those you love and not burden them with your difficulties. You may not realize how your intermittent anxiety or diabetes distress is affecting others. It is normal to be overwhelmed sometimes with things you cannot control.

      How would you rate your overall health?
      My first thought is always Excellent. My A1C hovers around 6.2, TIR around 85%. I do yoga, walk an hour at least 3 times per week, garden, keep my own house very clean, eat pretty healthy, weight is below average, BP excellent. Doctors say my eyes and feet deny I have diabetes. But then, I am insulin dependent, so I always bring it down one notch. Oh! To be able to eat gelato everyday. But even with insulin, there are too many other factors that keep me on the straight and narrow. I will get vertigo if I up my sugar/sweets intake.

      No, but . . . you know what? That gastroparesis nerve, when it goes south on you, allows anyone to experience the fun of vomiting no matter what the BG level or stomach contents. Sheesh! What an opportunity.

      At Christmas time 2020, a gift plate of baked goods arrived at my door from a friend. I couldn’t stay out of them and got nauseated from all the fat and sugar, Merry Christmas! My friend felt so bad, she arrived with diet gingerale, my 2nd gift.

      Only when going into DKA, which is another thing, and goes way beyond just a high glucose level. Ive had T1 for 55 years, and only under total insulin failure – 2 or 3 times in that timespan.

      I answered “no” (for my son), but this was his first symptom before diagnosis. He never lost weight, he was diagnosed in an outpatient setting with a1c of 9.5 and the reason we started our 3 physician and 6 appointment medical journey.

      No, only nearly 55 years ago when I was DKA. I went through several bouts of vomiting off and on before finally, after nearly a week of not being able to hold anything down, I was hospitalized and diagnosed. I had always been a thin child, but after all that I weighed only about 65 pounds and was about 5’5” tall. I looked like a skeleton.

      My highest known level was 511 on Thanksgiving a week or so after I was misdiagnosed as T2. And I only ate about 1/2 the carbs compared to years past. I had no symptoms at the time. My A1C at that first dianosis was 14.3, so I probably has some pretty high levels before that. My symptoms then were thirsty, urination and blurry vision, never nausea.

      I participated in a study and part of it was having my glucose run high for several hours (ketones were monitored to bring me down before well before reaching DKA). I felt fine other than that high feeling but once that day’s study was complete, I got sick even though I was still low on ketones and didn’t have the DKA pain and other symptoms that I’ve experience in my lifetime. I have participated in this particular study twice before without any issues. I believe it was due to having not enough water before I began, so it was a good reminder to keep my fluids up.

      I have vomited … sometimes several times a day … within the last 12 months, but NOT due to high blood glucose levels. I have gastroparesis, which means delayed emptying of stomach contents, which leads to me vomiting much more frequently than I’d like to. >|<

      I haven’t in the past 12 months, but I have in the past many many years ago when my pump malfunctioned. I wasn’t prepared with a backup plan and many hours passed before i was able to get to my insulin. It was definitely a lesson learned.

      I have vomited in the past, but my blood sugars have been better of late. I have gotten nauseous recently but, with the CGM and better emergency supplies, was able to stop the process earlier than I would have known about it before CGM.

      My blood glucose levels have not gone above 180 in the past 12 months. Never have had levels that high that would have vomited.

      I sometimes feel nauseated when my BG is low, but not generally when it’s ‘high’ (but it never gets really ‘high’ due to constant monitoring my BG).
      The only time it was ever crazy high, in the days prior to being diagnosed (45 years ago), I remember feeling nauseated, but never vomited.

      Been T1 for 61 years. Did experience it in the early days before any testing was available about once a year when it was time to get dose readjusted, but very lucky in that my rises and falls were quite slow and I could feel what was happening even before meters arrived. So only a couple of dangerous situations in my whole life. I am so very lucky!!!

      No vomiting in the past 12 months. Only ketoacidosis causes me to throw up and then I seek emergency medical help. The last time was over 10 years ago.
