  If you use an insulin pump, how happy are you with your current pump, on a scale of 1 to 5? Select the statement that is most accurate for you.
  I have a Tandem slim x2 which works well but there are two things that I wish it would do. It does calculate dosages of needed bolus insulin but does not dispense when needed. I would like it to dispense those boluses when it reaches .6u, a micro dosage like a natural event in our body. I would allow better control within our set range. Secondly, a reset for the i.o.b. amount when injection site is compromised.

  If you have been hospitalized for a reason unrelated to T1D and you were alert during your hospital stay, were you allowed to manage your own insulin dosage? (If you have been hospitalized for reasons unrelated to T1D multiple times, please select the option that describes your most recent hospital stay.)
  The hospital made me disengage my pump and promised to monitor my BG. After 10 hours with an incorrect basal my BG was high and going up. No nurse or doctor was available to administer insulin. I finally reinstalled my pump and forced the hospital to acknowledge that they could not monitor my BG. After appealing to the hospital Board, after my stay, they started using CGM's in all the wards for diabetic patients.
