  How often do people confuse type 1 and type 2 diabetes in your experience?
  T1D & T2D are meaningless acronyms for most, nearly all, nondiabetics. Juvenile diabetes vs diabetes is the closest known pairing and that's still few.

  Have your insurance deductibles and/or premiums increased in 2026?
  The Eli Lilly coupon program: https://insulins.lilly.com/lilly-insulin-value-program or the Nordisk coupon program: https://www.novocare.com/diabetes/help-with-costs/help-with-insulin-costs/myinsulinrx.html might help. It has for me.

  Does dietary protein affect your glucose levels?
  Patricia, if you're willing to isolate your diet to a single protein for a few days you'll most likely know. It doesn't work for everyone. It did for me.

  To what extent will the 2025-2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans influence your eating habits?
  I've been carnivore, high fat, low/zero carb for years. The less insulin I need the better.

  When I have a temporary signal loss with my CGM, it’s usually when I’m:
  Day 5 of 7, 4 out of 5 sensors in that box.

  Has diabetes technology increased or decreased your mental load?
  It's made me lazier.

  Do you feel like diabetes-related decisions take more time and energy than other people realize?
  Defining "other people" is the challenge. I don't think "most people" have any idea or realize what T1D decisions involve & that includes "most T2D people." I'd put it most in the "clueless" or "don't care" category.

  Which statement feels most accurate about your current diabetes setup (devices, supplies, routines)?
  Molly, Like Kristina below, I write down everything when I need to know more. You'll need to weigh your foods. It'll take time and will become an intuitive habit. The hardest part is starting. It's easier to restart when you need to as things change.

  Do you notice a certain smell associated with your insulin?
  After reading all the previous comments I'm going with insulin soaked Band-Aids.

  What is your preferred way to view your CGM readings?
  On my pump only. I've purchased 2 phones to work with my Medtronic pumps, 770G & 780G, each phone was removed from usability weeks later at the next upgrade.

  I'm still here. I'm still ambulatory. I've no complications. It hasn't bankrupted me.
