  Diabetes burnout – feeling run down and not managing your diabetes in the way you normally would – happens for many people living with T1D. Which statement best describes the way you currently feel diabetes burnout impacts you?
  It says not at all or only a little. I am only a little and I will be 78 in November. Have had it for 68 years. Became a Certified Diabetes Educator and Dietitian which has made a world of difference. I believe a better education can give you a better outcome.

  Diabetes-related stigma can range from one-off negative and misinformed comments to more pervasive experiences that lead people to feel they need to hide their T1D. In what situations have you experienced diabetes stigma? Select all options that apply to you.
  I so agree with you! As a dietitian and diabetes educator for many years I heard so many awful comments from peers etc especially about what I can and cannot eat. I hate being called diabetic and have had T1D for 68 years. Thanks for your comments.

  Many people with T1D talk about having a “stubborn high” when talking about those frustrating instances of high blood sugar that don’t seem to respond how we would like them to, however this phrase means something different to everyone. Which of the following circumstances would you consider a “stubborn high”? Select all that apply to you.
  It doesn't matter what the blood sugar is if you want it to come down lower and it won't. Could be the food I ate such as fats or the site is bad. Just frustrating.

  For pump users: In the past 3 months, have you had issues with insulin delivery due to a bent cannula or occlusion?
  I have had more incidents of occlusion with the Tandem x2 pump. Rarely had any problems with my older Medtronic Revel pump.

  If you have never used an insulin pump with automated insulin delivery (also known as a hybrid closed-loop pump), what are some of the reasons you’re reluctant, or obstacles you’ve encountered? Please select all that apply.
  I use the Tandem t slim X2 pump that has the option of CIQ but don't use it much unless my bg is going down. It usually runs me too high so I just make corrections etc myself. My TIR and A1c are fine. 68 years T1D.

  If you use a CGM, have you ever been asked to remove it for a medical procedure? Share more about your experiences in the comments!
  For MRIs and a back surgery. Regular xrays are ok for Dexcom G6.

  How many people do you know in your local community who have T1D?
  I was a Certified Diabetes Educator and Registered Dietitian so I saw a lot of type ones a lot. One of my very best friends is a type 1 and we have gone to see an endocrinologist together for more than 30 years.

  T1D4LongTime has commented in the same post you commented in :
  Insulin resistance is when a person’s body has a lower (or reduced) response to insulin. Do you have insulin resistance? Please share in the comments about your experiences, and how you navigate life with T1D and insulin resistance.
  My endo has not diagnosed me with insulin resistance. However, I am very Type-A, so high adrenaline and cortisol levels are a normal part of my day. During stress, my BG rises and a normal correction bolus often is very slow to bring it down. Once the stress levels go down, the insulin resistance seems to go away
