      What do you think is most important to your diabetes health? (Choose all that apply)
      I think access to healthcare - especially for those things we need to thrive (i.e. insulin, CGM's, pumps). I fear that things will go back to the pre-ACA days where people with pre-existing conditions can be refused coverage. Since the things we need (listed above) are Rx items and very expensive for paying out of pocket at retail prices, it will become close to impossible for us to live - not to mention thrive.

      Most all of the choices are important. My other health conditions/general health also affect my diabetes health.

      In addition, to all the choices mentioned, Advocacy is important, given the fact that many in the healthcare field, think as we age, we have T2 Diabetes. This can be challenging when you are in a hospital as many don't understand what we have to do to maintain a reaonable BG, and many they lack knowledge of the devices we use to stay healthy.

      Easiest way to stay in range is with physical activity. This is always true even before insulin was available. Tests and doctor appointments can cause mental stress. Physical activity does the opposite.

      The list is great. Medications need to be on the list too.

      It's hard to honestly say anything positive.

      D.R.A.W. It’s a theme I’ve used in public speaking. D is for discipline; a concept some people have to join the army to learn. R is for reward. You must reward yourself for things well done. A is for awareness. Awareness of yourself and others keeps you alive. W is for wonderment. Believing or thinking about things bigger than yourself. ル˖ ♡ ₍ ᐢ..ᐢ ₎ 📍 ࣪ . >

      I've become much more innovative with problem solving skills. I've learned to improvise in so many situations (e.g., when my pump ran dry and I had forgotten extra supplies, I realized that I had an extra 10 units in the tubing- I figured out how to force inject that to get an extra 10-12 hours, etc.) This improvising skill has spilled over into many other areas of my life. I don't think I'd be as flexible if I wasn't forced to "figure it out" because of my T1D.

      You don’t have to be a T1D to participate in the ACT study.

      Yes. Although, maybe not. Eli Lilly is researching an Alzheimer’s drug for tau entanglement ends. In order to qualify you had to remember at least 2 of 10 items. I could remember only 1. Not a good sign and indicative of MCI (mild cognitive impairment).

      So if I forget what I’m talking about, please remind me.

      The studies I have participated in have all been related to epilepsy: self-management study by phone, community pharmacist study by zoom, and a genetic study by zoom. The university hospital I use is aware I am interested in participation in research, and I keep an eye on https://clinicaltrials.gov/ for things they are not involved in.
