  Have you ever asked a stranger in public for help with hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia (for example, asking someone for a snack, to stay with you, or help in some other way)?
  About 20 years ago, I was in the Atlanta airport and I was completely lost and I couldn't understanding where I needed to go to catch my flight. I said to the man standing next to me, "I think I must be having a low blood sugar attack," and he sprang into action without me asking and bought me a coke. Ever so grateful, I asked for his business card and sent him a gift. I felt blessed I was standing next to such a good Samaritan.

  On average, how many adjustment boluses would you estimate you manually give yourself in a day? For the purposes of this question, these “adjustment boluses” do not include insulin automatically dosed by an algorithm without user input, and exclude doses given when also bolusing for food.
  It depends. For example, if I am on the court and the match is heated (tensions running high) and adrenaline pumping, I will likely need to correct. If I am not playing tennis, then I only need to make corrections when I go out to eat and I don't know how much fat was in the meal. I'm usually pretty good with estimating my carbs - it's the fat that get me

  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.
  As my partner says it is challenging to shop for me because of my food allergies like milk and fructose (strangely, I can have kefir no problem). When we go out to eat on the rare occasion, I try to pick places that keep the meal as clean as possible, prepared with oils and fats that are fresh and little preservatives. I think I would eat clean even if I didn't have type 1, but we'll never know.

  Have you had any issues obtaining life insurance because of T1D?
  No never asked for it. I don't care to deal with businesses whose sole business model is to calculate the rate of return based on interest rates relative to presumed life expectancy, morbidity and severity of claims. Thank you, but I'd rather invest the money my myself.

  How many days in the past week have you had at least one blood glucose reading below 70 mg/dl (3.9 mmol/l)?
  If I have zero insulin on board and I'm hanging around the house, having a BG between 60 and 70 is great. However, if I am going to go exercise, I need to treat to raise my BG to about 100-120, so that's 2 tabs.

  Does proximity to your T1D health care provider impact where you choose to live?
  With zoom, it doesn't as much. However, I do travel to see my endo. I just don't trust anyone else. And, after 30 years, I know no one cares as much as his office about maintain and improving my health.

  Have you read a diabetes-related book that you found particularly helpful? If so, share your recommendations in the comments!
  Think like a pancreas helped when I was prescribed my first minimed pump. What an invaluable tool! Then, I read Dr. Bernstein’s Diabetes Solution which helped me understand how I can do better with diet.

  What steps would you take if you had a glucose reading of 80 mg/dL (4.4 mmol/L) before you planned on going to bed, with no bolus insulin on board?
  It depends. If I didn't exercise then I'd just go to bed with my blood sugar at 80 assuming no insulin on board. My basal drops to .425 and lower starting at 11PM through 4AM keeping me pretty stable throughout the night. Assuming I exercised, then I'd eat a couple of slices of an apple with peanut butter before bed time. And, I'd check my blood sugar during the night because my muscles sure like to release stored insulin when I'm sleeping.

  New research found a gene that may put some people at higher risk for “long-COVID” (symptoms that persist after a COVID-19 infection, such as ongoing shortness of breath, fatigue, brain fog, or memory issues). What is your experience with long COVID? Share your experience in the comments.
  I didn't feel well for a couple of days in Dec 2021. My doctor tested for FLU and COVID, but all came back negative. I chalk it up to supplements and enzymes to help my digestive and immune function. Everyone around me tested positive and had it pretty bad despite being vaccinated and boosted. Heard certain blood types (like blood type 0 negative ) don't get as bad as others.

  If you have T1D, have any of your family members listed below also had T1D? Select all that apply.
  Not. One. Other. Relative. As a first generation American, I was the first one ever to get vaccinated.

  Which emotions do you most often feel when your blood sugar is above 250 mg/dL (13.9mmol/L)? Choose all that apply to you.
  I didn't know how to answer the question because as a T1D high blood sugars are going to happen. I see no sense in getting mad/sad/disappointed over a high blood sugar. Those emotions don't solve the problem. The emotion I experience most often when I have a high is motivated - motivated to bring it down.

  When eating a serving of animal protein (chicken, fish, steak, pork, etc.), do you calculate additional insulin for your meal bolus? Share what works for you in the comments!
  I metabolize these foods the same way. To give you sense, I ate a 4 oz. steak and Brussel sprouts baked in olive oil. I did not bolus and my blood sugar was 103 three hours later. Before I went to bed, I ate a piece of toast, with peanut butter, and jelly and definitely needed to bolus. When I eat a salad, I only bolus for the tomatoes, dressing and croutons. When I eat fish, I never bolus. I've been T1D since 16 years old.

  How comfortable are you having open and honest conversations about your health and T1D management with your main T1D health care provider?
  Absolutely, I feel comfortable talking about my overall health and T1D management with my endo. I have seen him for the last 25 years. I'm so well controlled that he has his PA see me 3 times a year and I only see him once (usually) just to get an overall review of how I am doing. I just feel that because he treats endocrinological diseases, he only has a very specialized, narrow perspective about "health." So, if need to talk about women's health, I go to my OBGYN. If I need to talk about my muscles, ligaments ect.. I go see my exercise physiologist. For my eye health, I see a ophthalmologist. But if any issues arise with any of my other body parts, my endocrinologist is first to know.

  How does menstruation (i.e., period, monthly bleeding) affect your blood glucose levels?
  The three days before menstruation, my blood sugar tends to run higher than normal and consequently, I get super emotional. As soon as I start menstruating, I can eat like a horse while cutting my bolus rate by about 1/3 and my blood sugars are soo good. It's completely bizarre.

  How much do you think your blood glucose levels impact your overall mood? (For example, being more likely to cry or feel sad when low, feeling irritable when glucose levels are high, etc.)
  If my blood sugar goes high (+ 180) try making a bad line call on the tennis court. I get very, very argumentative. I'll hound my opponents about their bad call the rest of the match. Truly the first sign of high blood sugar for me.
