  If you have gone swimming while using an insulin pump that has to be disconnected while you are in the water, how do you manage your insulin while swimming? Select all that apply to you.
  It all depends. So many different variables help determine what I do

  Adults with T1D: Do you take a statin, and do you have high cholesterol?
  I finally caved and started one. My endo has been pushing for a few years and I got sick of fighting him.

  If you use an insulin pump, do you prefer that your pump be rechargeable or use batteries?
  I put no preference. I’ve used both. Both have their pros and cons, but I can work with either

  If you have T1D, have you also been diagnosed with gastroparesis?
  I went for a scope for ulcers, and the guy there said to talk with my doc because it looked like I had gastroparesis (food still in my stomach after 14hrs), but I’ve never been worked up or formally diagnosed. So far I’ve been managing ok (most of the time)

  If you’ve lived with type 1 diabetes for more than 10 years, what resources do you find most useful for your continued diabetes management education? Select all that apply!
  I put support group or other social gatherings because I figured that was closest. I have a large number of friends who are T1D, so hanging with them is key. Sometimes something comes up related to T1D, but that’s not the focus of us gathering

  If you use a CGM, how often do you use additional adhesive tapes to help your sensors stick?
  I asked why they don’t send them with the supplies because I always run out, then they pay extra to send and it makes no sense. Now I get them sent with every order

  If you have been hospitalized for a reason unrelated to T1D and you were alert during your hospital stay, were you allowed to manage your own insulin dosage? (If you have been hospitalized for reasons unrelated to T1D multiple times, please select the option that describes your most recent hospital stay.)
  I haven’t had any overnight stays since diagnosis 32+ years ago, but have had a number of surgeries. The last 5 I’ve been able to keep pump and CGM on…I think they’re learning

  What foods or products do you keep on-hand specifically for hypoglycemia/lows?
  Maple syrup is my go to. It absorbs into the mucous membranes pretty quick

  Background (mild non-proliferative) retinopathy, stable x decades. I had protein in urine in 1981 when I first started doing fingersticks and had horrible control at baseline, but not for decades w A1c below 7 and good blood pressure control, <120/70 usually on an ARB agent. (ARB's are kidney protective). Have had trigger fingers, frozen shoulder as well.

  Mild non-proliferative retinopathy, diagnosed at 10 years post T1D diagnosis, has not progressed and may be improving as I improve my A1c/TIR.

  Only 1 long term one... diabetic dermopathy, the translucent red scaly circular spots on my lower legs. Had them since as I approached puberty. Diagnosed at age 6. Recently developed hypothyroidism, but not sure it's related to T1D. I've had extremely high stress levels the last 3 years. Caregiving a terminal family member has meant unpredictable schedules and Lee than perfect meals also.

  Eyes! Have already had multiple laser treatments, leading, eventually to surgery for Diabetic Retinopathy in one eye only (so far). Have had multiple eye injections over the past 7+ years for Diabetic Macular Edema. Otherwise, I have not developed any other complications over the past 46 years of having T1D.

  I should have read other comments first as I do have other things go wrong too. I have hypothyroidism, and have had frozen shoulder and trigger finger also. However, I had an extremely physical job and other co-workers got hand and shoulder problems too. So was the shoulder and finger problem diabetes-related? Could be. My trigger-finger got fixed with surgery. The frozen shoulder mended itself after about 2-3 years.

  I know. It is sometimes impossible to say if something would have happened anyways or if diabetes caused it.

  Never even thought about that as a complication.
