  If you’re a person with T1D, after having multiple highs and lows over the course of a day, how affected do you most often feel – physically and emotionally – once your blood glucose levels are stable?
  After an occasional roller coaster day, I feel fine physically but so frustrated and discouraged that I couldn't control all the timing of factors - timing of insulin absorption and digestion of food.

  If you use a CGM, how many times in the past month have you had to change your sensor more than 24 hours before its session expired?
  I love my G6 but sensors rarely last the 10 days for me.

  How many times in 2022 did you have an appointment with a Certified Diabetes Care and Education Specialist?
  Participated in a Diabetes Education online group through the Clemson University Coop Health Extension. It was great and it meant that we had weekly meetings over a few months, so more meetings than in a normal year.

  I haven't seen a CDE-ES since I was diagnosed 36 years ago. My endocrinology FNP is trying to get me in with a special clinic in my area just for insulin pump patients; I'm hopeful about that.

  If you wear a CGM, and share your data with your support team, have you ever shut off the sharing aspect when your numbers go out of range?
  I do turn it off while I am waiting for my blood sugar to come up after eating a snack. I don't want to wake him up.

  In over 3 years of using Dexcom CGM I have not yet had a sensor fall off. I am grateful!

  I said, "Yes, always," because it has and I did once or twice. This rarely happens though.

  If the CGM Sensor fails within one day, No. However, two or three days, yes, I go online for replacement.

  I tried the Dexcom over patch and it caused the sensor adhesive to lift, never again. It sticks better to the Dexcom adhesive patch than it does to your skin and it is not flexible or breathable enough.

  Hypafix tape is my go to, and I only use it if I'm doing an activity that is wet or abusive to the CGM.
