  What was your A1c at the time of your T1D diagnosis?
  A1C was not used when I was diagnosed in 1976

  How do you usually bolus for a slice of pizza? If you typically use multiple strategies, please select all that apply.
  I rarely eat pizza bc the “cost” of what it does to my BG is not worth it to me.

  If you have T1D, have you ever dated or married someone who also has T1D?
  I dated someone, but I was/am not out of the closet about having T1 so he didn’t know that I have T1

  When eating a food that you are not very familiar with, how often do you look up the nutritional information for the food you are about to eat?
  After reading the nutrition information, sometimes, I decide not to eat the food or the nutrition information definitely impacts how much of the food I eat.

  If you have T1D, have you also been diagnosed with gastroparesis?
  I have not. However, on occasion, when my BG is high or low for an unknown reason, I have wondered if that could be it. But then my BG normalizes with my “typical” routine and I dismiss the gastroparesis idea.

  If you have ever had extra supplies from a device you no longer use, what did you do with those extra supplies? Please select all that apply.
  I would love to learn of places to give/donate supplies!

  How useful is the A1c measurement to you as a tool for assessing your T1D management and making changes to your routine?
  A1C is an indicator of an indicator of blood glucose over time. Just because the only tool doctors have is a sledge hammer doesn't mean they should use it every time we patients have a screw loose. I look forward to the day when CGM reports completely replace A1C tests for type 1 diabetics.

  A1C is just an average over 90 days, so it is NOT an accurate way to measure BG control. However, due to inaccuracies in CGM readings, Time in Range (TIR), Standard Deviation (SD) needs to be combined with A1C (since its not derived from CGM technology) to determine accurate measure of control.

  Because I use a closed loop pump system with CGM, I depend more on the "Time in Range" than A1c. A1cs are averages and if I have a lot of lows and highs, the A1c result is not a measure of control.

  A1C is nice and all, but TIR is much more valuable to me.

  TIR seems to be more useful

  Reply to Marsha Miller; My last 3 Endo’s in 3 different states have always ordered Fructosamine Levels when seeing that my A1C didn’t jive with my pump data and sensor info. Fructosamine just measures a 2 week analysis vs 90 days for A1C. I’ve been told I have a certain protein attached to my blood that affects the 90 day test. The 2 week test has always been more accurate for me.

  I said not at all but that is because I use CGM full time and use the average BG on CGM, which is used to generate the GMI (glucose management indicator) as a better indicator.

  The a1C is part of it. Time in range, deviation, and yeah elimination of hypoglycemia.

  I'm on Dexcom with Tandem CIQ and I've about eliminated all Hypos so my latest A1c of 5.4 seems like a Cure to me. Just working on SD and TIR now.

  😮 That would not be achievable for me. Too many hypos. Hypos kill brain cells.

  I have never heard of fructosamine. What is that?
