  I became a T1D after having Whipple surgery. I was in the hospital for 11 days.

  I’m not sure why zero was not an option. I knew when I went to the doctor I had it. Ignored the symptoms until I dropped 10 lbs without trying and couldn’t bury my head in the sand anymore. Are a big piece of chocolate cake before I went because I figured that’s the last time I would be able to. Luckily, I am in control and can still have desserts every once in a while.

  I seldom use alcohol wipes before using lancet device. Years ago from another T1D I learned NOT to draw blood from finger pads where nerves are really dense. Instead i use backs and sides of finger tips for less pain. Also suspect fewer.germs on those areas compared to pads of fingers.

  Eight days in October 1970. I was several months shy of 4 years old, and these are my earliest memories. I remember having a board strapped to my right arm, ostensibly to hold the IV in place. (My mother told me that I asked how I broke my arm.) I also remember having a roommate who needed an oxygen tent, and wished I could be in there with her because it looked like fun. Finally, I remember an unpleasant nurse roughly turning me onto my tummy to take my temperature rectally. I clenched and refused and she yelled at me and told me the doctor would have to come in. I still refused and the doctor never came. It took me YEARS to recognize that the shame I felt about that should have been directed toward her BS behavior.

  I use a cgm as the main way of monitoring. I rarely stick myself so I don’t change the lancet unless I see the need to.

  I rarely use a BG meter anymore since being on Dexcom. However in the days when I did use a meter I would change the lancet when it started feeling dull to prick my fingers - maybe once a week or so. Nowadays? Since I rarely use a meter unless my CGM is having an issue I change it once a day since I may have to prick my finger 5 times or more while waiting for the CGM issue to be resolved.

  Lost 10 kilos in two weeks, spent 2-3 days at UCLA medical center. The endocrinologist insisted I learn about food values, in addition to the training. (1970)

  Really?!? You’re kidding right? Once a month, if that. I have a cgm, don’t check unless something seems really amiss.

  Since I started using a CGM I rarely use lancets. Pre CGM I normally changed lancets when I opened a new set of test strips, usually a couple times a month.

  Wow! After reading through the comments I thought I should clarify, I was hospitalized when i was diagnosed. I think in the early '60's that was standard. I just don't know for how long.

  I was only 2 years old, so I really do not know how long I was in the hospital.

  I chose "other" because I don't use my meter/lancets every day. I use a CGM and only check my blood glucose with my meter when necessary. When I was using my meter every day, I would change the lancet once a week or when the point was too dull to puncture my skin. Now, it's once every few months to a year.

  Same...and also at 38 (6 yrs and counting). They ran me around my Primary Care Physician's office, getting me all my supplies before setting me down in a Diabetes Educator's office. No Hospital needed.

  I change my lancet every time I need to use my Meter, but i rarely use it b/c I never have issues with my Dexcom G6.

  I change my lancet each time I replace my Dexcom...every 10 days.

  I change my lancet with every Omnipod change—every three days.

  I very rarely use my meter since my Dexcom is spot on for me. I never calibrate it. But, if I were checking my blood sugar regularly with a meter I would likely only change the lancet every couple of months.

  With a CGM, I hardly use my blood glucose meter anymore.

  I think this question should have also included how many times a day (week) we do a finger stick.
