  After you exercise for 30 minutes or more, do you notice any of the following with your blood glucose levels after? (Select all that apply)
  If there is insulin in me it will go down. If I exercise before my insulin then it will go up.

  When I was first diagnosed 23 years ago I went to a planning meeting for a run/walk. They served real coke and pizza. Never went back.

  Spectacular efforts & accomplishments, eherban1 wherever you are! Now you might help get Medicare’s $35/month insulin copay to apply to pump users. Ack!! I learned today that it doesn’t consider pump-delivered insulin to qualify under the brand new 2023 bill’s cap on copay!!! Impossible to imagine how IBX Keystone65HMO Basic Rx had their lawyers find that ‘loophole’ in the federal law! Just one of the grotesque idiocities that insurance layers over & through its plans IN CONTRAVENTION to what was indisputably the intent of Congress & the President – to cap the diabetic’s out-of-pocket spending for insulin. Here in Philly, I’ve become infuriated & expecting to put in my first ever volunteering as a “diabetes lobbyist”!

  Clinical research is important across the health care industry – it is how we have all the things we count on for our personal health care: appropriately educated and practice-tested physicians, nurse, technicians; medications & therapeutics; diagnostic criteria, identification, treatments et al; the entire range of devices from lab analyzers, thru ambulatory sensors/monitors, wearable/portable maintenance systems like pacemakers, insulin infusion pumps & continuous glucose monitors – just to skim the massive depth of what we all benefit from. One way that they all come to us is via human clinical trials. I have volunteered as a patient in a handful of such trials.

  I was a "mentor" for JDRF before they had mentors and were still called JDF. I had been helping out in the office near my home and after listening to me on the phone the director asked if I would be interested in speaking with newly diagnosed T1D's who had questions. I said, "Sure!" and so I started. A few years back I called my local chapter (I have moved, so new locale) to offer my help. I was told that this position is now called a mentor. Guess I was one of the firsts! :-)

  I sometimes think maybe I volunteer too much... but I can't imagine not doing so! I am on Camp Nejeda's walk-a-thon committee, I volunteer in the adult programming of the Children with Diabetes Friends for Life conference, I help moderate the Loop and Learn facebook group, I show up to help at local JDRF and ADA galas, walks, and rides. Diabetes is a huge part of my life and I like giving back so volunteering is a very natural way to do that!

  I figured after 36 years that, as a T1D, I needed a different approach than T2D. I got involved in a Québec association dedicated to decrease our mental load, which means to address any obstacle that stands in front of our physical and mental health. 70% of DT1 patients don't get below an average 8.5 mmol, T1D is still too complex to avoid related complications.

  Yes. As a volunteer with DiabetesUKNI I present my lived experiences of having T1D to undergrad pharmacists and midwives; speak to people at agricultural shows about life with diabetes including signs, symptoms, challenges and peer support; also help develop peer support programs and social meet ups.

  I have been a volunteer at our Pittsburgh chapter of the ADA, every year the ADA has a week long camp for kids with T1DM. I volunteer on the medical team and I can truly say that it is one of my favorite weeks of the summer.

  57 years wt T1D. Have volunteered 19 years with Diabetes Youth & Families camps (camp nurse for the 2 month season) & Dogs4Diabetics since it started in 2004. Also several Zoom support groups in the SF Bay Area. I find it invigorating to have a Diabetes Community.

  I put "no" because I didn't really consider helping to raise money for JDRF volunteering...but now that I see others' answers...maybe I was mistaken? I mean, it was more sharing my team link online so that doesn't feel like volunteering haha
