  I am grateful for support of my T1D and Tandem online community members and my family. A BIG positive for my endo and his staff too. The aggressive marketing of Dexcom CGMs on TV has been a blessing too with less explanation as to what the CGM is and what is does. A greater awareness of T1D in the general public would be welcome, but it is very slow in coming as the public lumps us all as Type 2 (in my opinion).

  This is my 50th year of living with diabetes and have seen and lived through the changes in treatment. I was 7 and was taking 1 shot in the morning and used urine to check my blood sugar with clinitest tablets and a color chart. I now check my blood sugar and have a dexcom g6 with a tandem pump. My ha1c is the lowest I have ever had and I am under better control.

  My thoughts are like many others already expressed. I have been insulin dependent for 59 years. I believe that other parts of my health condition (eating habits, weight management, exercise, heart health, etc) are much better than I would have experienced without my T1D life. I remember thinking in the 1960s that I would probably not live to see the 21st century. Instead, I am still wondering “What will I do when I grow up?”

  Approaching 58 years with T1D. Thankful for (almost) always eating a healthy diet and for the discipline, discipline, discipling required to maintain good control.

  I am thankful that I am coming up on 50 years living with T-1 and I am still living without complications. I know many other T-1 people aren't as lucky through no fault of their own.

  I once met a sweet older T1D gentlemen. He had just had a severe low and had scratches on his face from seizing. It's hard to feel great about T1D in those moments, but he told me he was grateful for his T1D diagnosis because it had made him take better care of himself than he otherwise would of and overall he was healthier because if it. Lovely reminder that there's a silver lining to every situation life throws at us.

  Had this question come a day earlier, my response may have been different. For the first time since being diagnosed a year ago, I was able to spend time with my nephews, ages 12-14. They know this is a challenging disease and because of me, they are at a genetically higher risk. To help assuage their fears, I spoke positively about all the exciting new advances and we had fun seeing how food and exercise affects blood glucose using my CGM. This really helped me see a brighter future. I am truly grateful for those who suffered before me and helped push research forward and for those who developed the technologies we have today.

  Probably the best thing for me to come out of being a diabetic is my awareness of good nutrition. Before I was diabetic, I had no awareness of the different values of food, i.e.: fats, carbs, proteins. I ate anything. My diabetes brought me to a healthy, well balanced diet that I can measure. I've always exercised. But, my diabetes gives me impetus and meaning for my exercise. I really do appreciate having this connection with All of you on this T1D Exchange site. For many years, I felt that I was out there alone. I had no idea there were so many of us out there. I value your comments and input. Thank you.

  I’m thankful for my new OmniPod5 I got on Tuesday. My blood sugars are in even tighter control (85% of the time) than with the Tandem TSlim X2 (less than 70% of the time) so far.

  Being able to give others information I’ve learned in my 52 T1D that can help them have a better T1D experience, and hearing from them that the information helped better their T1D life.

  I can relate to this. After 38 years, I would think it would be easier. But with better technologies, it is getting better.

  Having recently retired from a career in biomedical research, I can't let this pass without saying how grateful I am for all of the academic researchers who devote their lives to advancing our understanding of health and disease. Most biomedical research is carried out by idealistic young scientists who work 40+ hours per week for low pay with the dream of making a significant contribution to our well being. In addition to the all of the technological advances in BG tracking and insulin delivery, the results of their hard work include deeper understanding of the ways our immune systems go awry and destroy beta cells and the development of replacement beta cells that will produce new treatments and possible cures in the future. I see much to be thankful for.
