  When counting your carbs before dosing insulin, do you factor the amount of protein into your carb calculation at all? If so, share how in the comments!
  I do not bolus for protein, but I split the bolus into two doses to cover the delay in the carbs effects.

  When you’re in a group setting, like having lunch with coworkers or at a gathering with friends/family, how often do you feel you are judged or criticized for your food choices because of your T1D? Please feel free to share more details of your experiences in the comments.
  Sometimes people think that because I have diabetes I cannot eat dessert. I just tell them I bolus for it, that I manually do what their body does automatically. My diabetes is very well under control.

  How much did you spend out-of-pocket on all of your diabetes medications and supplies from the start of April through the end of June 2023?
  I have Medicare and Anthem supplemental plan G. Zero copays. it is a good plan if you use the system a lot.

  During which month were you (or your loved one) diagnosed with T1D?
  I do not understand why this data is important.

  What have you learned about life with T1D this year?
  It's still hard. Yes you have to watch everything you eat, drink and how your stress levels are. Stress can definitely affect your Blood Sugars. You can have a Normal life and do whatever you want to do. Hopefully, there will be a Cure

  This question is so dependent on your health plan. PPO, HSA, nothing? I hit my HSA deductible well before October.

  $0.00 in qtr 4 of 2022 due to exceeding my out of pocket max thanks to cataract surgery in August. Normally, I would spend about $200 in 3 months

  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.

  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.

  I have Medicare Part D prescription coverage that does pay for test strips along with most drug costs. Could there be some route to strips coverage for you, too?

  @P-O Heidling, Thank you for educating me, my friend. I hadn't any idea that Sweden has a National Health Service. Methinks I need to do more reading/become better educated. ;-)

  @ELYSSE HELLER, I 'hear' what you say, ma'am. Unfortunately, I have 'lost' internet friends from America when they have died from not being able to afford insulin. I'm sure that Mr. Banting and his colleagues would be 'turning in their graves' if they knew what was happening. I'd like to say that I agree with your assertion that "Healthcare is not a privaledge it is a basic human right!" but I'm a realist. I KNOW that things have to be paid for. i.e. who would pay for the doctors/nurses/development and production of medicines?
