      How often do people confuse type 1 and type 2 diabetes in your experience?
      It is not often that I get into discussions with people about Type 1 and type 2 diabetes. But, when I do, most people don't know that there is a difference. Those that are aware that there is a difference between type 1 and type 2 diabetes, don't know what the differences are. Generally, unless the person has the disease, is a close family member, or works in the medical profession, there is no understanding of the disease.

      Have you had a Coronary Artery Calcium (CAC) Scan? (The American Diabetes Association suggests this imaging tool, depending on age and years with T1D, to assess heart risk by measuring calcium buildup in your arteries.)
      Yes, I had one done and the results were very high in the upper 400s. I have my wonderful cardiologist to thank for recommending it as even after a normal stress test that was still somewhat suspicious. He thought further testing was advisable due to my 65 years of diabetes. The complaints that I had been having for years were not terribly specific, but just overall being way more exhausted than I thought I should be for my age and a bit of shortness of breath, but no chest pain. My doctors had been just saying that I was probably out of shape and that was what was causing the symptoms but this doctor really was proactive. This test shows calcium buildup, of course, in the arteries which is somewhat different than fatty plaque buildup in the arteries that can only be seen at the Cath Lab. My next step was to go to the Cath Lab where they found four major blockages in my heart and thank goodness we found them. I eventually ended up having four stents put in during two additional procedures. The last one was very stubborn because of the amount of calcium and I had to go to the university of Washington where they were able to do a procedure to drill the calcium out of the artery before they could get in there to place the stent. Heart disease is a very real concern for those of us with long-term diabetes, and although I am a retired dietitian and have always eaten an excellent diet with yearly lipid panel results looking excellent this still happened. The procedure took less than an hour and they do put an iodine die in your vein to make everything easier to see. My Medicare Advantage Plan paid for it except for my copayment which I believe was around $300 which is similar to what I have to pay for things like an MRI. The doctor does have to justify this test by certain symptoms and other previous test results.

      In my experience people have heard of Type 2 Diabetes so if I say Type 1 that makes sense in that if there is a Type 2 there must be a Type 1 also. That is the extent of their understanding. In healthcare there is a bigger failure where "diabetes" or "type 2 diabetes" is used as a shorthand of a set of conditions often seen together. See any research paper by any cardiologist ever. This lack of precision leads to incorrect risk evaluations and incorrect treatment of people with diabetes caused by other factors including autoimmune aka Type 1.

      I have, and I do show calcium build up and hardening of the arteries. No action has been taken yet at this time. However, I am taking Repatha for better control of my cholesterol and it has been working great.

      Just googled it and most insurance plans including basic Medicare do not cover it. Said cost ranges $100-400 with out-of-pocket being $100-150 (although I don’t understand that if not covered by insurance).

      T1D & T2D are meaningless acronyms for most, nearly all, nondiabetics. Juvenile diabetes vs diabetes is the closest known pairing and that's still few.

      If you could reimagine your diabetes technology, what’s the one thing you would change?
      The technology is remarkable — and I’m thankful for it. Having managed T1D for a very long time, it's improved my A1C. But as we age with T1D, usability becomes critical. Larger fonts, easier interfaces, simpler navigation, and design for arthritic hands will matter more and more. We also urgently need better training in hospitals and care facilities. Too often staff are unfamiliar with pumps and CGMs, and patients are forced to disconnect from the very tools that keep them safe. With the nationwide shortage of endocrinologists, we cannot rely on specialists to fix these gaps — frontline medical staff need better training and support. Tech innovation must include accessibility and real-world medical training.

      I take prenatal multivitamin iron-folic acid 29-1 MG because of the Iron deficiency anemia I have,
      Vitamin D due to all the anti-seizure medications I take which lead to bone loss,
      cyanocobalamin (a form of B-12) to help its deficiency,
      and melatonin to help me fall asleep.
      There are many more medications and pills on the list that don’t fall under this category.
      Your tastebuds can definitely let you know when you are deficient in things you need!! Three different times for me and the first time was a bizarre PICA craving.

      I started taking magnesium after being dxed with cluster headaches and it helped almost immediately. I also take B12 for hair, skin, and nails.

        Hi KC! Were you experiencing any dizziness or fainting with the cluster headaches? My husband has uncontrolled drop attacks and just was diagnosed with a somewhat rare type of migraine. I’m so glad to hear the magnesium helped!

      Only Vitamin D and that was a recent event based on my OB-GYN’s recommendation. Age soon to be 64. My endo always has said that people don’t need supplements if they eat healthy. I realize some medical conditions require supplements, but as a rule I think my endo is correct.
