  Have you ever mistakenly injected the wrong type of insulin (rapid-acting instead of long-acting, or vice versa)? Please share more in the comments.
  Once using my app, I took a bolus of 8.0 instead of 0.8. Glucagon to the rescue.

  Since your diagnosis, how many times have you had a severe low glucose and needed help from someone else?
  3 Might be 4, but over 60 years and zero since I've been on a pump

  How often do you calibrate your CGM?
  The Dexcom is usually way high after the warm up period. If I don’t calibrate my closed loop will over deliver insulin. And on day 9 or 10 it needs another calibration most times

  How often do you have issues pairing your CGM with a digital device (insulin pump, phone apps, watch, receiver)?
  I have used both the Dexcom G6 and the G7. In regards to pairing with my phone, the G6 has never had an issue, but the G7 is a bit fussier.

  Do you use any of the following insulin pumps right now?
  I am similar. Use Omni 5 some of the time and DIY loop other times. It's economics. My Omnipod 5 is too expensive on my insurance plan.

  If you could create a “wish list” of must-haves for an insulin pump, what would they be? Please share in the comments!
  1. Waterproof 2. Covered in full or mostly by insurance 3. Ability to change pumps before the warranty expires

  Have you had any issues obtaining life insurance because of T1D?
  I did get a whole life policy when I had a young family. I was "rated" and it was crazy expensive. And I have outlived many people who were not rated. Just turned it in for its cash value.

  Have you ever microdosed glucagon (injected a small amount) to treat a stubborn low glucose level?
  Once on Loop, I accidentally bolused 8 units instead of 0.8. Good old fashioned glucagon came to the rescue. By the way, last time I tried to get more of it, the pharmacy could not obtain it. Yes it is horrible and difficult to use, but I think it does have its place in my tool kit.

  If you use an insulin pump, do you have long-acting insulin in case of a pump malfunction?
  I have a pump backup. Long time ago I had a failure without backup. Used Humalog every 3 hours. It was challenging but not impossible.

  If you’ve had an insulin pump malfunction or failure that required an emergency replacement, how long did it take to arrive?
  They did overnight it, but it was a weekend so it took until Monday.

  When eating a serving of protein (i.e., chicken, fish, steak, pork), do you give extra insulin for your meal bolus? Share what works for you in the comments!
  I often give extra insulin, but not with my meal bolus. I will give it later 2-4 hours depending on many things.

  Have you ever asked a hotel to provide a refrigerator so you can keep your insulin cool? Select all that apply.
  If no regrigerator, I use an ice bucket.

  When eating a serving of animal protein (chicken, fish, steak, pork, etc.), do you calculate additional insulin for your meal bolus? Share what works for you in the comments!
  I will bolus an additional amount 2 to 6 hours later, depending on the meal content Fat, or pasta or pizza is like a time bomb for me.

  For pump users: In the past 3 months, have you had issues with insulin delivery due to a bent cannula or occlusion?
  I am on the Omnipod 5. No occlusions, but sometimes after 2 1/2 days the insulin effectiveness goes down. Sometimes, but not always.
