      How many people in your immediate family — your parents, siblings, or spouse — live with type one diabetes?
      I am the only one with T1D, but 75% of my immediate family have autoimmune issues.

      Honestly anyone living with you , you're the only one, lives with diabetes. Kinda vague on the "living" term.

      How many times in 2023 did you have an appointment with a Certified Diabetes Care and Education Specialist?
      Been at this for 40 years now. Not much a CDE can teach me at this point. More the reverse, actually.

      Put yourself in their shoes, after you are taken care of. Offer to leave early if it helps them catch up. Or talk to them about sports, weather or kids to give them a break from their daily grind of explaining fried potato products don't count as a vegetable.

      After 20+ years as a Type I, my appointments are with my endo, where I end up educating him on the latest research. Most endo's patient population is almost exclusively Type 2 and are not as plugged into Type 1

      If you have ever had extra supplies from a device, you no longer use, what did you do with those extra supplies? (Check all that apply)
      First and foremost, please don't trash anything extra you may have! Find an outlet, may not be FDA sanctioned, but someone somewhere can use your extra supplies! I've built up a small backup from replacements for my own use (CGM sensors/pods that went bad). However, I'd tried Lyumjev (didn't work out) plus had a couple of extra glucose meters, test strips, lancets, and carriers that I donated to an org intended for help to Ukraine. Hopefully, it helps kids/adults in need. I served in the military overseas and saw directly how great the need can be, both peace and war environments. If you have extra, please find an outlet for insulin, meters, test strips, et al...whether here at home or overseas...please don't trash the stuff!

      I have a support group for type 1 women only and if someone in our group needs something we let the facilitator know and she keeps track of who might need supplies or have extra. you cannot advertise prescription items online for free or Facebook. may restrict you. so beware of that.

      I did donate a bunch of extra test strips once (to endo's office), but wish I could figure out what to do with old Omnipods. I ended up with 3 extra boxes when they switched me to the new system a few months ago, but none of the usual places want them/can take them. I hate to throw them away knowing how much they cost. (Thankfully I only paid the co-pay, but still it hurts to see them wasted.)

      If you’ve ever used a connected insulin pen (also known as a “smart pen”), what was your experience like? Tell us more in the comments! A “smart pen” connected insulin pens can offer extra technology with the simplicity of injections, like tracking the timing and dose of insulin, tracking insulin-on-board, and calculating insulin doses based on carbohydrate entries.
      I like Lyumjev too! Works faster for me.

    If a therapy for T1D came to market in the next several years that eliminated severe hypoglycemic events and provided insulin independence for up to 5 years, which of these phrases do you think would best describe a therapy like this?

      They typically ask me to go in a few days before my virtual visit to do lab work and download my device data – then we can talk about it at my virtual visit!

      Besides having them be connected to Clarity, I download my InPen data and email it to them beforehand so we can review that together. They seemed to find that data more helpful in determining that my insulin ratio may be off.

      I had a virtual visit with my endo only two times, many months ago. I am back to seeing her in her office, and my pump and CGM are downloaded there.

      I upload data to my computer, print out reports and send them through the mail. This is the easiest way because of technical incompatibility with their computer system. I can also read the up-to-the-minute data off my sensor & pump over the phone.

      The clinic has access to my pump/CGM data thru t:connect. If any labs are needed I get them done at a clinic several day before my appointment.

      My computer tells me I can’t download the data, so I visit the Dr.’s office, give them my pump in the waiting room, and they read it for the next day’s phone visit. Cumbersome, I know.

        I hope for your sake that your doctor’s office isn’t too far away. Do you have a person who can come look at your computer and determine what is going on?

        Why are you driving to the provider office to download your data and then have a telehealth visit? Seems like a waste of time.

      Other – I download my data to Tidepool and shared with my endo, for my one telehealth visit. But my previous clinic liked you to download your data before your on person visit as well.
      My new clinic does it the “old fashioned” way, they download my pump and pull up my Clarity info.

      I upload via T-Connect every month (for my use) and it is automatically forward to the Endo practice. I truly appreciate doing it this way. In the past (with a fortunately former endo) they took my pump, did their thing getting the data at the office. But…this one endo would change all my settings, and not tell me. I am aggressive in my T1D mgt, and when I couldn’t get under 150 bg (I don’t allow myself to go above 140) it occurred to me to check the settings. They were changed! So using T-Connect avoids that scenario. I was livid.

      I have it set up that my son’s data is uploaded to Clarity and Glooko automatically. I don’t have to do anything extra before our appointments. The doctors/nurses have all the information available to them and have the screens available to pull up and discuss during our visit whether it is in-person or virtual.

      Until this past Monday, I downloaded from tSlim and we go over them together. Monday and everyday since then, on mine and a brother’s computer, it will not download. According to Tandem, it’s my pump, so a replacement is arriving tomorrow.

      I answered that I download my data to my devices application (T-connect) and then my endo can look over the data through her computer. However that is what I would do if my appt. was virtual but I don’t believe I have ever had a virtual appt. with her.

      As someone who has a very high percentage of people on devices, I can tell everyone that whether you are seen in office or remotely, it is invaluable to download before a visit, or have a service that does so automatically when working, like Dexcom Clarity, T:connect, Medtronic Carelink, or LibreView. This saves valuable time during any type of visit, and eliminates the need for someone else to handle your device. We do whatever works- some people (or their families) who don’t have remote capability or don’t like it sometimes bring the device in ahead of time if they are local, regardless of whether it is tele-med or in person. But most we set up a service- Glooko, Tidepool are also ones that work for multiple devices.

      Even in person the doc has never gone over my data and I see no reason the doc should. I do not use a pump or CGM, so it would be going through my meter or my logs and that is not what my appointments are for. All they have to do is ask me how my levels have been and have I been having any problems, and that is what they do. If I didn’t already have a bunch of reasons for not having a pump and CGM, having to had over that data to anyone, including a doc, would be the reason I would not get those devices. If they can’t just take the info from me, and have to have the “proof” from my device, then I want nothing to do with them. If they can’t trust me, and what I tell them, it would only be because they are not trustworthy as I have done nothing to earn their distrust. They don’t need to see my data unless I am having problems I can’t figure out and are asking them to look at my data to help me figure it out.
