  If you’re a person with T1D, after having multiple highs and lows over the course of a day, how affected do you most often feel – physically and emotionally – once your blood glucose levels are stable?
  Mostly I will feel fine and can get back to whatever I am doing. If I have had a very low low I sometimes feel hung over for a bit.

  What steps would you take if you had a glucose reading of 80 mg/dL (4.4 mmol/L) before you planned on going to bed, with no bolus insulin on board?
  If my trend arrow on Dex was straight I would do nothing. If trend is downward treat then sleep.

  Have you ever used insulin that was unrefrigerated for more than 28 days?
  I keep all my insulin in the refrigerator or when traveling I have a Frio and also a plug in cooler

  CGM sites, finger pricks, and repeated insulin injections can all cause visible scar tissue. How much visible scar tissue do you have on your body, and does it bother you?
  Does not bother me. No worse than scars from sports and daily life over 66 years.

  In the past 7 days, on how many days did you get at least 30 minutes of moderate aerobic exercise (e.g., brisk walk, swimming, light bike riding)?
  Rain, snow or shine I walk 2-1/2 miles every morning and 1 to 2 mile in the evening with my dog.

  On average, how many lows would you estimate you have per week?
  My lows come primarily from exercise. I use the exercise feature on my OmniPod but the algorithm is not robust enough. Tandem did a better job - I would suspend my insulin and that would mostly keep me from dropping.

  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?
  Generally unfamiliar foods are mixed foods that do not easily fit in the categories of the nutritional guides.

  How concerned are you right now about affording your next order of T1D supplies?
  I have great insurance through Medicare and my Medicare Supplement so no worries about affording medications or supplies. My concern is affording the insurance premiums when I am no longer working. Hoping to work til 70 but husbands Alzheimer’s is getting worse so not sure I will be able to work another 4 years.

  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.)?
  I always make up any time missed at work for appointments or blood work.

  If you have had surgery while living with T1D, were you able to choose the person who managed your T1D during the procedure? If you have had surgery multiple times, please answer for your most recent procedure.
  Most recently I was able the keep my pump and self manage. That was not the case years ago.

  How much of your diabetes supply packaging do you recycle? Share your tips for reducing T1D waste in the comments!
  Our recycling does not take plastic as there are no buyers for plastic waste. There is very little paper paging but I do recycle the little that there is.

  Have you ever dropped a vial of insulin and had the vial crack or break open?
  Oh the horror when I dropped and broke a vial. Amazon to the rescue, purchased clear rubber vial protectors for both regular and long acting insulin

  The food we choose to eat as people with T1D is so personal, and each food impacts every person differently. What foods do you prefer to eat for your first meal of the day? Share what works for you in the comments!
  I have two basic breakfasts 1.) 5oz fat free Fage plain yogurt with slivered almonds and blueberries 2.) 1tsp chia seeds , 1 tbs crunchy peanut butter, cinnamon and hot water to make chia pudding
