  When you’re experiencing low blood glucose, what symptoms do you typically experience? Select all that apply!
  My strongest symptom is insatiable hunger. This has led to the corollary problem of overtreating overeating reactions. The other powerful symptom is lack of focus, inability to concentrate. If I’m reading something I can spend 1/2 hour on the same paragraph or sentence.

  Has your insurance company ever denied your T1D medications or supplies? Share more in the comments about how you navigated this process.
  When a treatment-medicine is new, insurance tries to claim it is still being investigated and is awaiting approval. NONSENSE! If it’s available at a pharmacy, it has completed approval. Over the years, that insurance excuse has morphed into a requirement for a “prior authorization.” HUH?! Why do my doctor and I have to explain why it’s necessary. The prescription is evidence of the doctor’s thinking it’s necessary. My presenting the prescription shows I agree with the doctor. Why go through multiple questions proving it’s necessary as part of prior authorization. Big pharma, huge insurance, corporate medicine are all big money rackets who have no interest in my health, yet have extreme interest in saving a nickel.

  If you have played a competitive sport, did you take any precautions with your T1D-related devices?
  I played football in high school and college. I wrestled in high school. I played various intermural sports throughout. There were no T1D devices in the mid-‘70’s.

  How would you rate your customer service experience with your current DME (durable medical equipment) provider?
  Dexcom is good. Byram is terrible. Overall for both, fair.

  Outside of CGM or insulin pumps, are there any other T1D related technologies that have helped you better monitor your T1D? Share in the comments what they are!
  I’ve been a T1D long enough to remember testing glucose with urine test strips. Blood testing was a huge improvement, even though it took years to evolve into CGM.

  Do you notice any changes in your blood glucose level patterns in colder weather?
  Depending on the weather, I tend to be less active in winter. Each fall the try to adjust my insulin dosages to accommodate this activity change.

  What advice would you give to a caregiver of a teenager with T1D?
  Teenage (and early 20’s) is the most unstable time. Be aware. React to situations. Adopt good habits and strategies. They may not be apparent in teen years (note instability) but they will pay off as the diabetic matures and their system “stabilizes”.

  For caregivers of children with T1D, do you have any special accommodations available from your child’s school? For adults with T1D, did you have special accommodations when you were in school?
  When I was in elementary school, my teachers had sugar cubes or hard candies in their desks. As I advanced to junior high school, that became my responsibility.

  Were you misdiagnosed with another condition before you were diagnosed with T1D?
  I was 7-years-old when diagnosed with T1D in 1966. My parents thought something was wrong with my bladder or kidneys because I was so thirsty and running to the bathroom all the time, day and night. They took me to the hospital and one urine test and the doctors had it figured out.

  How many times in the past 12 months did you have your A1c measured by a healthcare provider?
  3-4 times. Every time I visit my endocrinologist he has it done.

  If you have ever been prescribed steroids, did they have a noticeable impact on your blood glucose levels? Please share more about your experiences managing T1D while taking steroids in the comments.
  I did not have a steroid prescription, per se. Rather, I had steroid injections as part of orthopedic treatments. They caused significant issues with my glucose management and did little to provide relief for he original orthopedic issue.

  I no longer fly. But when I did i carried medical supplies and extra food as carry on. Today, whether running errands on foot or by bus or taxi, I ALWAYS carry Dexcom, One Touch meter, sugar cubes, prefilled insulin syringes with me in backpack, pockets of pants and/or backpack. Let recent SW Airlines lost luggage snafu be a warning.

  How many times in 2022 did you have an appointment with a Certified Diabetes Care and Education Specialist?
  Participated in a Diabetes Education online group through the Clemson University Coop Health Extension. It was great and it meant that we had weekly meetings over a few months, so more meetings than in a normal year.

  I haven't seen a CDE-ES since I was diagnosed 36 years ago. My endocrinology FNP is trying to get me in with a special clinic in my area just for insulin pump patients; I'm hopeful about that.

  Usually all T1D supplies and medications go with me on my carryon. Can't risk freezing in cargo holds or lost luggage. Extra week of test strips, etc. sometimes I will pack in checked baggage, but seldom.
