  Do you live with insulin resistance? If yes, please share more in the comments about when it began to develop.
  Not sure how that is determined. If I don't exercise, the insulin is significantly less effective-sometimes not lowering blood sugar for many hours or at all. Since I exercise everyday-often after every meal, I am in good control.

  If you were diagnosed with T1D diagnosis as an adult, were you given adequate resources and information from your healthcare team? Please share more in the comments.
  I took a diabetes group class and my doctor was helpful. I also started reading and finding online resources that I found helpful. I feel like I have a big part in taking care of myself- continuing to learn and choosing a healthy life style.

  When purchasing condiments or dressings (i.e., ketchup, BBQ sauce, mustard), do you ever buy “sugar-free” products?
  I look for products that do not have added sugar- nit necessarily sugar free. For the most part I try to avoid sugar alcohols. I gave used sugar free syrup at a restaurant.

  How often do you exercise? Share more in the comments about your exercise routine.
  Well yes After an intense weight lifting or difficult fast running rest is recommended. You can still do easy walking or other movement. Total rest is never recommended. Daily movement is fine.

  Seems like there is some confusion what qualifies as exercise. Just move most days- walking, gardening, swimming, jogging, biking , hiking, yoga, dancing- any form of moving. As you age resistance training is highly recommended especially for cardiovascular health.

  If you use a CGM, at what glucose level is your “low” alert set? If you use multiple alert schedules, select the number that is your “low” alert at 12 p.m. in your local time zone.
  Usually 80 but sometimes 100 if I am exercising for long periods of time. I am currently walking over 20 miles (6hours continuously) once a week. Working up to over 30 miles preparing for 62 mile walk on June 1.

  On a typical week, how much of your total amount of insulin is your basal insulin?
  I just guessed.

  If you have played a competitive sport, did you take any precautions with your T1D-related devices?
  I ran competitively and currently walk competitively. Also throw the discus competitively. I make adjustments in the basal and bolus settings as well as using the exercise function during walks. Training for a 100k walk. I will be 75 in March.

  On a scale of 1-5, how satisfied are you with your current overall T1D care routine? (1 = the least satisfied, 5 = the most satisfied)
  I checked 4 but progressing to 5. Part of my care routine is what I do. I think it it wrong to put all the responsibility on doctors and other medical professionals. My goal is to make better life style choices and to continually learn.

  If you experience a hypoglycemic event, do you tend to experience more hypoglycemic events following that initial low? (Share in the comments if you have recently experienced this!)
  Too many factors to sort out to really know the answer.
