      If you have T1D, have you ever dated or married someone who also has T1D?
      I fell in love with an insulin-dependent Type 2 20 years ago. There’s something terribly romantic about taking Lantus together at the end of the day.

      Do you feel that your T1D healthcare provider understands the daily challenges and work that goes into living with T1D?
      One time I was explaining that a new pump would be too expensive at the time because my deductible had just started over.. and she asked if I had insurance and I said yes….. then she said “then it should be free with insurance.” 🤦‍♀️ She may know a little about the challenges of living with diabetes, but she knows nothing about how insurance works or how costly T1D supplies are.

      Do you feel that your T1D healthcare provider understands the daily challenges and work that goes into living with T1D?
      I am an RN. Been going to same doctor for about ten years. Took me six years to train him. I am very well read when it comes to my LADA. He trusts my judgement and gives me excellent parameters to make decisions. Recently had a bad case of Covid. Insulin needs changed dramatically. Getting back to normal but he made sure I had scripts to cover my ups and downs with insulin needs.

      Mine acknowledges the struggles and challenges that go along with managing T1D in my daily life. She gives suggestions as to what may or may not help and has often asked me I how I handle situations so she can give suggestions to other T1D patient's.

      None of my endocrinologists or NPs have had T1D but I always discuss my challenges and they are incredibly helpful. What I always find astonishing is they are constantly amazed at how well I’m doing even when i don’t think I’m doing that well because most of their patients have nowhere near the A1c’s I’m able to achieve. And just hovers in the 6’s!

      Have you developed lipohypertrophy due to repeated injections/infusions of insulin? Lipohypertrophy is a term to describe hardened lumps of body fat just under the skin that resulted from repeated insulin injections/infusion sites. If so, share how you’ve handled lipohypertrophy in the comments!
      The hard spots are fairly frequent with the pump infusion sets. Especially if I go past 3 days which I try to avoid! I don’t think I ever got one from injections. I try heat and massaging to treat them and they normally go away after a day or so. Once I had a large area that I had to treat with antibiotics.

      Have you experienced any symptoms of physical sexual dysfunction as a result of having diabetes, or having diabetes-related complications?
      I’m 79. My last orgasm was springtime about 3 or 4 years ago. When I complained of ED, my PCP Rxd 3 to 5 (60-100 mg) sildenafil tablets by mouth about one hour prior to sexual activity. This alone hasn’t worked to bring me up to former sexual capacity that I had 10 years years ago. I’m still considering consulting finding a doctor who’ll prescribe a safe but effective way of administering testosterone or an anabolic steroid in a dose low enough to avoid causing cardiovascular problems but high enough to restore normal ability that I had up to my sixties. My present doctors say it can’t be done, but there are doctors who advertise otherwise. Analogs of the hormone insulin can be delivered in small safe doses, why not testosterone?

      We are all so very different, and trying to say that all of us with T1 understand what it's like for another who has the same hill to climb is unproductive. Having a health care provider with T1 may often be helpful just because there's apt to be more knowledge about the specifics. How we respond to the disease is such a personal matter, that I really don't think there are any guaranteed benefits beyond the grasp of the factual. Finding a doc with the same general attitude about the disease does feel good, and sometimes that's all I hope for after working hard to make peace with the disease for 70 years. Asking my doc to "get it" used to be almost my mantra, but I've come to realize that the ones who don't just see us as unruly childrenchildren

      Both my endocrinologist and my nurse practitioner are great. They compliment me on the way I take care of my life and health and make aure I get all the supplies I need managing all the paperwork Medicare and insurance requires. My nurse practitioner who works with me on managing the pump has her own opinion about the pump settings based on her technical knowledge which is different than what I do with my settings based on living with them. She has thru the years learned to respect what I do and is surprised with how my settings work. So we are now at peace. Both very supportive.

      Hi Connie, I still have my glass syringe and show it off occasionally. We boiled the needle and syringe every morning and sharpened the needle with a file. I was diagnosed at age 6 in 1963. Life is so different now! Then, my diet was extremely limited as was my exercise. Now, I am very active and eat pretty much as I please. I maintain an A1C in the low 6s (6.2 was my last).

      Connie and Beth, I was diagnosed in Nov 1962, age 10. During the early years I developed lumps and indentations on my upper thighs from my injections. In fact, I was able t o spot other t1 kids in my junior high school based upon the lumps in their upper arms.. (I eventually met up with them and learned that I was correct.) By the time I reached my twenties, these indentations had more or less disappeared, but I still have remnants of the lumps. I wish I could say that the layers of tissue now deposited on my legs disguises them, but they don't. I think the changes in insulin have been responsible for this improvement: the isolation and purification of animal insulins were refined, and then the various human clones were game changers in many ways.

      Yes in my upper arms when I was a petite and skinny child in the 1960s with T1D. In those days we used glass syringes with stainless steel 1/2 inch long heavy gauge needles. My mother would jab me in the upper arms, it hurt like the dickens, and I developed several hard nodules. I was diagnosed at age 8 in December 1962 and after the initial two months of her jabbing me in the upper arms, I took over giving my own "shots" and started self injecting via site rotation in my thighs for several years. Eventually the lipohypertrophy in my upper arms resolved and I never injected there again until many years later as an adult on MDI using disposable syringes with very short and fine gauge needle tips. Periodically I would give my tired pin cushion thighs a rest and take a break for a few months or a couple of years and rotate injections in my abdomen or upper arms. Have been using a pump for over 20 years now and rarely use MDI unless I am taking a pump break for a short period of time. Happily, I no longer have lumpy sites.

      I’ve never seen diabetes as a joke on tv/movies and I don’t think it would bother me if I did. It’s the false information they give about Diabetes and confuse people even more about Type 1. Just recently on New Amsterdam they had an older lady diagnosed with Type 1 and they were showing the needle used for her insulin and it was HUGE. I laughed. Why would someone choose to show such ignorance on such a big level. Loose the drama…please.

      Jokes are just that and sometimes spur thought. The Joke is the US Healthcare system where patients fight with health insurance companies frequently have to fight to find approved DME providers. I fought one year until April for them to tell me who I could buy Pump Supplies from. Thank goodness I knew how to game the system the year before and had plenty of supplies. I finally called the CEOs office and read the company the riot act.

      I chose “other” because having type 1 diabetes is not funny; on the other hand laughing feels so good and actually is good for the soul. This year there has not been much to laugh at, so if the diabetic on South Park is made fun of, laugh at it and go forward.

      I put 5 but have never seen a diabetes joke on tv. I don’t watch much. I put 5 because of the young children with diabetes If it is a bullying kind of joke, 5. Yet, if instructive in the story then it depends how it is presented. I believe that all people with lifelong challenges in life need to be treated with respect and demonstrated in our entertainment. Humor can be good, but it does not have to be distasteful and strike against people with diabetes. Humor against the condition itself could be a better approach but done in a matter of respect and compassion for the people who have it.

      There are some jokes that I can laugh along with, but others bother me. The ones that trouble me most are the ones where a person eats a large cookie/sundae/other form of junk food and says, “Well, I’ll probably get diabetes now.” T1D is NOT caused by sugar consumption, and considering how difficult insulin is to get for some people, that in itself isn’t something to joke about.

      I think diabetes and those living with it deserve better, smarter, actual funny jokes and that we need to write them to get them. Kudos to all already doing so, that feels like front lines. I put a safe “3”, which is more of a reflection of my privilege. I thought a few moments and this feels like a “5” situation. Stigmas and misinformation breed shame and trauma and kill people.

      It’s not the jokes…as long as the jokes are actually funny of course. It’s the misinformation about diabetes overall and especially the confusion between T1 and T2 in general that drives me crazy. I’m much more concerned when a “serious” show or news segment misleads the general public with bad info. They are also not good about differentiating between T1 and T2. I’ve had too many coworkers tell me that treating a hypo is bad for my health. When I try to explain the reality, their response is too often, “Well I saw it on the news.” (I’m the one with the disease! I do know better than some ill-researched and badly worded segment!) Infuriating. You want to be a lazy writer and toss in yet another joke about too much sugar giving a character diabetes? I can take it. It’s the media feeding the lazy writers that misinformation that bugs me. Forget about fighting the jokes. How about fighting to give us T1s some real representation? How many T1 characters can you name on any show, be it a comedy or drama, that really portray the truth about our day to day lives? I’d love to watch a sitcom about a funny T1 who runs a cafe called Sugar Daddy’s. Or better yet, someone in one of the many dramas/procedurals who has T1 and it’s shown as just a normal part of that character’s life vs. a one note nod to “disease” of the week.

      I’d rather see efforts going in to making insulin affordable and not having two different structures for co-pays with Medicare. If I were in MDI my insulin costs would be $180 a month ($90 for tier 4 need), in pump, because it’s part B I’m paying about $235 a month.

Help us fight for the things we are fighting for !!!!

      I personally LOVE diabetes memes. (If you haven’t, go look them up..!)
      But I don’t care if people joke about diabetes in real life or on tv. I joke about it all the time. Sure, people don’t know what they’re talking about when they say “oh man, this ice cream is gonna give me diabetes”..but it doesn’t bother me any. Sometimes I’ll order some kind of big pancakes or a brownie at dinner and call it ‘diabetic death’. Having diabetes for your whole life sucks, so why not make a little light of it.

      The only ones that bother me are if they refer to people causing it ourselves. I love seeing a TV character with type 1 if it is represented fairly correctly, just to raise awareness. I’ve been type 1 for 61 years and when the Steel Magnolias movie came out, my mom and dad went to see it not knowing what it was about and had to leave part way through because it terrified them. I was still young and we didn’t know all the wonderful things coming for type 1’s !

      OK, here’s my crack at it. A scientist, a pharmaceutical CEO, a politician, and a minister go into a bar. The scientist says I’ve got the greatest gee-whiz invention for T1D since Methuselah was a teen ager. The CEO lifts his glass and says he’ll make millions and millions. The politician says he’ll design a system where everybody who needs it gets it and it’ll be dirt cheap. The minister folds his hands and says, “Let us pray, let us pray, let us pray.” They all finish their toasts, wipe their chins and walk out of the bar.

      Nothing happens. But a little Rumpelstiltskin type of a guy holds up a little vial. A bystander asks him what’s in the bottle. “Frustration.” Rumplestiltskin says, “Pure, unadulterated frustration. It’s sold for years and has continued to sell as good as ever. May it go on forever and ever.” And they all lived happily ever after, each dusting off their respective silos and keeping them clean.

      If the jokes were not against the diabetic, rather the public or current incorrect beliefs and were informative, they may be good and informative, also remembering that medical scientific finds change often. I would want none of my medical conditions 110yrs ago.

      3. Sure I would love for everything to be accurate. But people being people, many times the information/news is not accurate. And this leads to all the stupid things I hear from people.
      Do I lose sleep over it? No, but I spend a lot of time trying to correct those inaccuracies.

    On a scale of 1-5, how important do you think it is for the T1D community to push back against diabetes jokes made on TV/in movies? 1 = least important, 5 = most important Cancel reply
