  Have you given yourself a rapid-acting insulin injection instead of a long-acting one by mistake (or vice versa)? Share how you handled this situation in the comments.
  I once took fast acting instead of long acting and ate a lot of ice cream. I once did the reverse but could ignore it since it was only 1 unit.

  If you use an insulin pump or CGM, how often do you ration your device supplies because you are concerned about running out of supplies before your next refill?
  I have a Dexcom G6 CGM and I use a hack I found on YouTube to reuse a sensor a second time so I won’t run out.

  Do you keep a low treatment in your vehicle?
  I said yes, but it’s really in my purse which goes everywhere with me.

  I’m not sure why zero was not an option. I knew when I went to the doctor I had it. Ignored the symptoms until I dropped 10 lbs without trying and couldn’t bury my head in the sand anymore. Are a big piece of chocolate cake before I went because I figured that’s the last time I would be able to. Luckily, I am in control and can still have desserts every once in a while.

  Eight days in October 1970. I was several months shy of 4 years old, and these are my earliest memories. I remember having a board strapped to my right arm, ostensibly to hold the IV in place. (My mother told me that I asked how I broke my arm.) I also remember having a roommate who needed an oxygen tent, and wished I could be in there with her because it looked like fun. Finally, I remember an unpleasant nurse roughly turning me onto my tummy to take my temperature rectally. I clenched and refused and she yelled at me and told me the doctor would have to come in. I still refused and the doctor never came. It took me YEARS to recognize that the shame I felt about that should have been directed toward her BS behavior.

  Lost 10 kilos in two weeks, spent 2-3 days at UCLA medical center. The endocrinologist insisted I learn about food values, in addition to the training. (1970)

  Wow! After reading through the comments I thought I should clarify, I was hospitalized when i was diagnosed. I think in the early '60's that was standard. I just don't know for how long.
