      At T1D Exchange, we work to improve the lives of people with T1D through research. If you could ask a T1D scientist anything about research, what questions would you want answered? Share in the comments, and your question may be featured in an upcoming article!
      Why aren't there more studies on heart disease risk with only T1Ds? I have read peer reviewed medical articles that confirm that T1Ds were not studied exclusively in statin research. We were advised to be treated with statins even if our cholesterol was excellent and there were no other risk factors. I suffered from elevated A1c, weight gain, insulin resistance, extremely low cholesterol which led to vitamin D deficiency which caused respiratory problems and inability to exercise or enjoy leisure activities due to breathlessness and muscle pain. Doctors believed that any symptoms reported by patients were due to the "Nocebo effect" despite my improvement when I didn't take statins for six months when I forgot to refill my prescription! I suffered these side effects from 2002-2016 when I finally found a doctor who took me seriously. We need to be treated as individuals with T1D, not treated based on studies on the majority of T2 studies.

      At the time of your T1D diagnosis, did you already personally know anyone who had T1D?
      Yes, my dad had T1. My diagnosi made him and my mom so sad. I tried hard to make it no big deal so they wouldn’t worry.

      For the past 7 days? I have slept soundly thru the night with Tandem X2. Must say, sleep is rarely disrupted by overnight or early AM hypo or hyper with CIQ. It’s been great and really is a reliable game changer.

      My sleep is disturbed every 3 days by the 3 hour warning to change pod. Only occasionally is my sleep disturbed by high or low glucose.

        Janice, I have my change pod change notice set for 1 hour and in this way it’s about the time I wake up anyway.

      First night was not really woken up. Got up to use bathroom and noticed a little high 125 so injected 1 unit. Last night was running low so ate a glucose gummy. Did get a Dexcom notice.

      This has been a good week. I may have had one night where I over snacked and had a high blood glucose (football playoffs). I tend to wake up and check my insulin pump during the night.

      Usually my Tandem with Control IQ does beautifully — but I’ve had one leaky reservoir, one reservoir with a broken sensor inside it (to say how much insulin is remaining), and one site that completely came off my body, all since Thursday (and it’s only Tuesday morning). Hasn’t been a good week for sleep.

      Entirely because of bad sensor-transmitter combination on my Dexcom — ‘normal’ weeks are 0-1 response, usually 0.

      I came off a period of never getting alerts to one of my periodic always going too high few days. Since, for me, the insulin doesn’t work as well when I’m sleeping, I was getting high alerts every hour for several nights last week. I seem to be back to normal again now, thank goodness.

      before getting CGM (2 years), would never wake up during night. now wake up most nights. had to turn off low alarm on Libre2 because it’s so inaccurate. had it set for 65 last night and it alarmed when it stated that I was 64. checked with a strip & was actually 82. ugh!

        I know! I got woken up with a low of 40 by Dexcom. Just wanting to get back to sleep I had a box milk (13 grams carbs). I then checked with my meter and I was actually 156. Then the high alerts started so I had to wake up again to treat the high.

      I don’t consider the alarms a disruption, more an opportunity to maintain my levels where I want them. Thankfully, when I silence an alarm and make necessary adjustments I roll over and go back to sleep.

      None of my nights were interrupted, but mainly because I work nights and sleep days. My day’s sleep was disrupted a few times but I don’t keep score. Might have been as few as two or as many as 5 days.

      I chose 2, one was for a low alert that my meter disagreed with and the other was a continuation of a pump/transmitter issue that occupied a major portion of the previous afternoon. Tandem had me do a hard reset on the pump that eliminated the IOB count that combined with the first 12 hours inaccuracy of the new sensor to mess up my dinner. That continued on waking me in the middle of the night with a widely inaccurate glucose reading.

      Even if I don’t have alarms in the middle of the night, I still wake up at least once or twice every night to look at my BG on my smart watch out of fear that I’ve missed an alarm. I am thankful I can just look at my watch and not have to do middle of the night finger sticks anymore.

      I said 4. Medtronic 770g and CGM. I get a BG required notice 4-5 nights/ week, sometimes I can ignore it, sometime it repeats, then I get up and check. I want to stay in auto mode so I get up. usually I have to add a small amount of insulin .

      4 nights disrupted. Schedule and holiday eating still in play makes for later evening eating that makes corrections come at night. Since I generally eat keto, I’ve become a bad guesser at many foods. My nighttime disruptions are usually less. 1 or 2 times a week, rarely none.

      1-2 times per week, the alarm goes off for “loss of signal.” 1-2 times per week for highs or lows.

      By not placing my Dexcom too far to either side of belly avoids those annoying ā€œcompressionā€ low alerts. I tend to sleep on my left or right side, not on my back. And now before adding food or insulin responding to CGM alert, I doublecheck with my meter. I’m on multiple injections, not a pump.
