  Do you have any programmed diabetes-related “reminders” on your phone or other technology? For example, a reminder to take your long-acting insulin every night at 10 p.m., or a reminder to bolus every day at 1 p.m.?
  I have a rise alert on double arrows... that reminds me I forgot to bolus for my carbs. I have alert b4 low alarms that remind me I need to eat. Goin on 40 years with T1D it's not like I don't know but I don't feel the lows till their pretty bad now. And I lost my appetite years ago.

  When you are in a situation where people are asked to silence their devices (e.g., in a theater, during an important meeting or ceremony, etc.), do you take any steps to ensure that your T1D devices do not alarm? Select all that apply.
  I normally keep my alarms on vibrate at all times. Should something stupid happen and my pump actually does put out an audible alarm. Answer it as fast as possible and hope it interrupts things less than the baby crying that someone else should have left at home.

  For adults with T1D, how many 8-ounce cups of water would you estimate you drink per day?
  What counts as water? I drink alot of sugar free electrolyte drinks. Live in South Florida hotter it gets the more I sweat and drink. Gotta stay hydrated. As for plain water I seldom drink it.

  If you are an adult with T1D, do you take any blood pressure medications?
  Oh the on-going battle of blood pressure meds. Although I don't have high blood pressure, doctors have tried for years to get me to take it. They say it helps the kidneys... So I ask if my kidneys have a problem 🙄 they say no it can be preventative. Unfortunately every one I have tried caused issues or generally make me feel like shit.

  A surprising number of employees living with T1D at T1D Exchange have a twin! For people with T1D, are you a twin (or a sibling of a multiple birth, such as a triplet)?
  No but some think I have an evil twin when I am unaware that I am hypo

  How often do you typically change your insulin dosage settings outside of T1D-related appointments (e.g. basal rates, insulin-to-carb ratios, etc.)?
  Fortunately my 670g has multiple basal patterns. I switch between a few as needed. 1. normal work day. 2. excessively physical work day. 3. night shift 4. Sick day... being able to vary my basal rates helps alot

  In the past 3 months, how many hours of work or school do you estimate you missed because of T1D (e.g., going to T1D-related appointments, feeling sick because of blood glucose levels, managing complications of T1D, etc.)?
  If I took time off every time I had a low episode I would probably never work. Most of my lows happen at work. Hmmm... maybe I shouldn't work.

  Have you ever been without health insurance while living with T1D? If so, please share more in the comments about how being without insurance impacted your T1D management.
  Haven't had insurance since the 2nd year of Obama care. Mini med really helps the uninsured with discounts. For quite a few years Lilly gave me Humalog for free. Now that there is a generic equivalent I get discounts through good rx. Fortunately I am into self management, and stay up on diabetes research. My primary has known me for 20 years and keeps a chart and writes scripts for me. Since insulin requirements change for numerous reasons I think all type 1s should be taught and be given the right to control themselves.
