  If you’re at an event that asks guests to “silence devices,” do you adjust the alarms on your CGM and/or insulin pump?
  I silence my phone and set Tandem:tslim pump to vibrate, but the pump will still provide a loud alarm with low BG that I can’t silence. Advice is welcome! Thanks.

  Has the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) ever asked if you’re insulin dependent when obtaining or renewing a driver’s license?
  Idaho. I volunteered T1D and was asked if I wished the info included on my license.

  Has living with diabetes adversely affected your dental health?
  Diagnosed with T1D in Dec 1951. The only available home testing was using urine. I’m certain the elevated BG levels contributed to dental problems.

  Do you notice any changes in your blood glucose level patterns in colder weather?
  I do not notice a difference, but that may be because my insulin pump manages deliveries to maintain BG in range. Also, I am less active when it is very cold in Idaho.

  How important is the A1c measurement to you?
  Same trends for me. My endocrinologist thinks it may be due to (1) my severe anemia or (2) the cancer medications I take.

  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?
  As a seven year old child in elementary school in 1952, my great aunt was the school cook and watched out for me.

  If you (or your child with T1D) celebrate Halloween, how do you balance blood sugar levels, physical activity, and candy during the festivities?
  No participation.

  How often do you clean your skin with an alcohol wipe before giving yourself an injection or inserting a new pump site or sensor?
  Same for me, except 72 years ago.

  In the past month, have you needed to pull over while driving because of low or high blood glucose levels?
  I wear DexCom monitoring and Tandem insulin pump. I also carry snacks allowing me to treat impending low.

  What was your most recent A1c?
  Most recent by lab test was 5.6%, but DexCom Clarity shows 6.7%. I suspect the difference is due to severe anemia & bone cancer meds.

  Does your T1D healthcare provider suggest new medications or devices that they think would be beneficial to your T1D management during your appointments?
  My provider indeed recommends new devices and treatments, but “often” is not correct. Only as they are available.

  Do you keep a low treatment in your vehicle?
  I keep a treatment (small plastic bottle of ordinary sugar) in my pocket when driving.
