  Do you notice any changes in your blood glucose (BG) level patterns in warmer weather?
  I suspect that the low more often in warmer weather is largely due being more active.

  In a typical week, how often are you woken up by your CGM or other diabetes-related alarms (such as, for a low or a high alert)?
  Most common wake up is due to loss of contact with sensor.

  Happy New Year! Do you have any diabetes-related goals for 2024? Tell us in the comments!
  Figure out why my closed loop takes me into low glucose alarms soon after going to bed when the system tells me I am well above target and there is no active insulin in me?

  Were you misdiagnosed with another condition before you were diagnosed with T1D?
  I was recovering from jaundice when sugar was detected in my urine and the rest is history.

  If you use both an insulin pump and CGM, do you currently use any of the following automated insulin delivery (also known as “predictive low glucose suspend” or “hybrid closed loop”) algorithms to help keep your glucose in-range?
  I have answered Loop / OpenAPS / AndroidAPS as it is probably the closest of the options but the system is not self-built. I use the CamAPS FX /YpsoPump/Dexcom G6 set up and it works extremeny well

  Have you developed lipohypertrophy due to repeated injections/infusions of insulin? Lipohypertrophy is a term to describe hardened lumps of body fat just under the skin that resulted from repeated insulin injections/infusion sites. If so, share how you’ve handled lipohypertrophy in the comments!
  I stopped using those sites and paid more attention to rotation of available ones.

  In your own words, how would you describe the feeling of a severe low?
  What's interesting is that I've begun taking Adderall for ADHD, and my doctor and I are still trying to find the right dosage. Lately I've found that 20mg XR is just too much for me, and describing how uncomfortable and out of it I felt, my ex-cocaine user boyfriend said that's exactly what coming down from speeding feels like. But what's interesting is that it also feels exactly like a low blood sugar. I kept checking my CGM but my blood sugars were all fine, but I still felt shaky and spacey. So apparently a low blood sugar has the same feeling as coming down off of speed/drugs.

  I've never had a very severe low -- only been T1D for 7 months. But if I am dropping very fast, I usually get this weird tunnel vision where I feel like everything is converging and I feel unsteady. Then the shaking, clammy feeling starts. Usually takes 25-30 mins to feel normal again, even when my blood sugar returns to normal.

  I classify a severe low as one where I become completely stupid - it affects my cognition first and then my peripherals - like shaking, and fast heart beat etc...
