      When you experience an illness that makes your blood glucose levels more difficult to manage (whether because you are unable to eat, the stress of being sick, or any other reason), what resources do you refer to for help managing your blood glucose levels while sick? Please select all that apply to you.
      Only "illness" that makes it really difficult to control my blood sugar is getting steroid injections into my cervical spine or fingers. I leave my basal rate on my pump at 250% and need much higher bolus doses and many "extra" doses if my blood sugar remains really high. I tell the MD's that it turns my insulin into tap water and try to avoid it, experience with having gotten these injections over the past few years has helped, but having blood sugars of 400-500 despite much higher basal and bolus dosing is so frustrating!

      When I had surgery last year and couldn't exercise for a few months, my time-in-range was very good. I was shocked but I shouldn't have been as exercise is one of the things that make my diabetes harder to keep under control. During recovery, I didn't have the ups-n-downs in blood sugar that I usually have when I exercise.

    When watching a sporting event, do you think your blood glucose levels rise due to stress hormones?

    Aside from the honeymoon phase (if you had one), has the amount of insulin you need increased the longer you have had T1D?

    If you (or your child) had T1D while in school, did you give presentations to classmates to teach them about T1D?

      I don’t have any sports I bet, or care about enough for it to stress me out. My bg stays the same so long as I eat reasonably.

      I don’t watch sports events but sometimes I feel like my blood sugar goes up during an intense film. Sitting for an extended period while viewing a film to TV show also seems to be a factor.

      I am a fairly avid pro & college sports fan, and I don’t have high BG levels when watching games, either in person or on TV. However, when watching my son play in a youth soccer match, my BG will rise. I try to bolus, walk, and do mindfulness practices to relax.

      BG rise is caused by sitting for extended time.

      “other” for me… Another non-sports-watcher here, so I don’t know what my BS does during a sporting event.

      I really have no idea but don’t think so.. The last three times I watched our team play an MLS game my bs has been low.

      I would not choose to watch sporting events, but if I am in that boring scene, very rarely, and the environment is too loud and irritating along with unknown foods, it can raise my BG due to noise and carbs.

      I don’t really follow sports and would very rarely watch it on TV.

      Rarely watch sports so no. However subject to overnight lows upon arising need additional insulin once I start eating usually that day. Endocrinologist says that’s adrenalin from the low raising my insulin requirements.

      I guess I’m in the minority on this, but I actually have a programmed basal pattern with 3X my normal basal for watching my local NFL team on TV, especially near the end of the season, playing a rival and in the playoffs for sure. I can consistently feel the internal stress rising at gametime and until the game is decided. I will typically change basal pattern an hour before kickoff and switch it back in the 4th quarter. Although I have definitely over corrected and have to eat more snacks to bring up a low. šŸ™‚

      I can relate to Greg as I have had my CGM spike when my kiddo is doing sports or a play, too.

      It’s not the stress that raises my BG, its the sitting and not moving much.
