  It is recommended to use an insulin vial or pen within 28 days of opening it, but not everyone can discard unused insulin. What do you do with your unused insulin after it’s been open for more than 28 days?
  I usually have more then one bottle open. I have one for home and work. As long as it doesn't appear cloudy I'll use it. Same with my insulin pens. Insulin is to expensive to throw away is discard!

  Do you have a carb counting app on your smartphone device?

  For caregivers of children with T1D, do you have any special accommodations available from your child’s school? For adults with T1D, did you have special accommodations when you were in school?
  I was in elementary school. My care team me to have a morning snack in class.

  Do you have a T1D-related tattoo?
  I have several parts to my T1D tattoo. The blue circle is for Diabetes Awareness and is of blue daisies and blue rose with a Monarch butterfly. The dasies I drew on my BG logs as a kid and the rose bc I'm from the City Of Rose's. In the center it reads Diabet1c with the first "i " have a blood drop for the dot and "t1" being in red. I also have the date that I was diagnosed in Roman numerals V1•1V•MCMXC11. I will note that the placement of the Roman numerals was suppose to be below the circle but the artist said it would make the circle look oblong. I think it's over crowded inside but it gets the point across that I live with T1D. I have this medical alert tattoo on my left forearm and have shown it to many 1st responders and one Family Physician with the majority recognizing it right away, some I pointed out just the "t1c" in red and they got it. I have not had an emergency where it's come into play and that's great but having this tattoo gives me a little reassurance if I should be found unconscious somewhere. I also use the stickers on my CGM and insulin pump that say that I have T1D.

  If you use a CGM, have you ever extended your sensor past its approved session duration?
  Idk that was possible

  If you are an adult with T1D and have tested positive for COVID-19 at some point since January 2022, did your health care provider prescribe Paxlovid to help with symptoms?
  👍 and I also have never been/ or will be vaccinated for C19.

  I have T1. Was tested for Covid 2x per week (employer required) and always NEGATIVE! I was even exposed on 2 occasions and never got it. To this day I've never had the Covid 19 virus.

  If you use an insulin pump, which of these options best describes when you most often change your pump site?
  No specific routine but also if I have any insulin left in the reservoir I'll keep the pump on for the allotted up to 8hrs that my pump allows so not to waist the insulin.

  My G6s always last 10 days. Only if I ripped the sensor off by accident, do I change it early

  Quite the opposite. I regularly wear mine twice as long as its official expiration date.

  Had never happened my experience until earlier this month. Transmitter nearing end of its life died on day four of a new sensor start. Fortunately I had a new transmitter and extra sensors on hand. Called Dexcom to report my issue and they sent a replacement that arrived via FedEx three days later. Dexcom has always been extremely responsive, helpful and efficient in my experience with them.

  I selected the wrong answer. I have two sensors out of the three I get that expire at least 2-3 days before there due date, every three-pack box (Medicare Box). I 'm good friends with Tandem support. They have replaced them. I made them understand when you are on Medicare Part "B" you are on a strict timeline to reorders. You just can't lose two to three days a failed sensor. Thats 18 days for a Medicare Part "B" order.

  I forgot to obtain a replacement G6 sensor when away on holiday over New Year so I “fixed” the sensor for another ten days (advised by Google) The extra ten days worked excellently, but the sticker failed after about 18 days in total. My experience suggests that sensors could be safely used for double the recommended time! Obviously, if used with a pump, things would be different

  None in the past month. I have had many times where I get blood that comes in where it pokes in. The one I put on today was a bleeder but it seems to be reading good. I will just have to verify the reading when it gives a reading I believe is off. Wish there was a way to put a tiny sensor under your skin to last for 5 to 10 years and then have it replaced. What a dream.

  I think I did 2 times this past month, but usually it is zero.

  I Google searched your question and found this... Type 3 diabetes is a proposed term to describe the interlink association between Type 1 and Type 2, and Alzheimer's disease. This term is used to look into potential triggers of alzheimer's disease in people with diabetes. Wikipedia-
