  Have you given yourself a rapid-acting insulin injection instead of a long-acting one by mistake (or vice versa)? Share how you handled this situation in the comments.
  I keep my current long acting pen in the kitchen closet. Only take it out in the morning to give myself my shot. Fast acting is NEVER in the closet.

  If you use a CGM, at what glucose level is your “high” alert set? If you use multiple alert schedules, select the number that is your “high” alert at midnight in your local time zone.
  I set it at 140 - 150 during the day. Used to have it at 200 but the TCOYD endos suggested 150 so you can "head trouble off at the pass" with the lower number for the high alarm.

  On a scale of 1-5, how much are your personal relationships (social and intimate) affected by living with T1D? (5 = the most affected, 1 = the least affected)
  as a single guy, I've learned the hard way NOT to bring up T1D on a first date!!

  If you’re on a CGM, have you checked your blood glucose this week using a testing strip?
  more than I ever thought would be necessary!

  Do you know the day and year that you received your T1D diagnosis? If you’re comfortable, share about your diagnosis in the comments!
  I know that I started insulin in Dec 2003 (age 43) about 10 days before Christmas. Asked my endo if he could find the exact date and he did - Dec 12! Don't celebrate it but I like knowing. Rehashed the diagnosis experience and I told him that I knew I was in trouble because they had 4 medical professionals in the room and I was the only appointment all morning!

  Were you misdiagnosed with another condition before you were diagnosed with T1D?
  diagnosed with Type 2 by my GP at age 43. put me on glucophage and avandia but my A1C kept climbing. said I'd start on Lantus after the holidays if it didn't go down. found my endo who was the head of adult diabetes center in med center in Houston.

  If you or someone in your family has T1D, have other members of your family been screened for T1D autoantibodies? If not, do you think your family would be willing to be screened for T1D autoantibodies?
  my siblings & parents are older (like me) and they've never expressed any interest in getting tested. my nieces and nephews have never said anything either

  Does your health insurance offer benefits or cover services that adequately meet your needs?
  Ugh, Express Scripts is my PBM. made me dump FIASP and won't cover Afrezza.

  If you use a CGM, at what blood glucose level is your “high” alert set? If you use multiple alert schedules, select the number that is your “high” alert at 3 p.m. in your time zone.
  used to have it set at 200. the TCOYD endos put out a video suggesting that you set CGM at 80 & 150 with the theory being if you hit those numbers, you're not in trouble like if they were set at 65 and 200
