  I want to make sure I do Control My Blood Sugars a lot better than I have been. Lose more weight and exercise more.

  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.

  I have been a camp counselor for the ADA at a camp for kids with diabetes. I have also volunteered at JDRF One Walks and was an intern at the JDRF Advocacy Office

  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”!

  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.

  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.

  Scored my lowest A1C in December- 6.8, usually around 7.2 T1D since 1970 with no complications.

  36 years of T1D. 26 years of being an insulin pump patient. Moved to a different state and found a new T1D care provider I like. A1c stayed in the 6s! w00t!!

  Still hoping for a cure after having T1D for 64 years. I never hear anything about a cure anymore, or new research findings on a cure.

  Yes, bike riding does not raise my heart rate enough, unless I stand up and pump as hard as I can for as long as I can. But, I have damaged my bike doing that. That's my problem, I push myself beyond my limits. But, we must keep on moving forward and doing what we can to improve our lives. Best wishes,
Clear All
