  If you use an insulin pump, when do you change your infusion set after getting a “no insulin delivery” alarm?
  I clear the error, then I disconnect the set from the site, deliver 0.5 units to make sure the tube is clear, reattach and it always works. It’s only happened a couple of times in 23 years.

  If you were misdiagnosed with another condition when seeking care for T1D symptoms, did you have diabetes-related ketoacidosis (DKA) when you were finally diagnosed with T1D?
  I was seven. My mom died. For two months I was acting “strangely”. It was 1969. The doctor put me on antipsychotic and antidepressant drugs. Finally, 2 months later, I lapsed into a coma. Two days later, a young doctor thought to run a blood sugar test- bingo. I woke up soon after.

  If you could guess, about how many times a year do you miss planned events because of something T1D-related?
  I’ve never missed anything but I’ve been late because I won’t drive if my bg is too low.

  How often do you “rage bolus,” giving yourself several correction doses for a stubborn high glucose?
  Who calls it “rage” bolus? Why so extreme? If anything, I’d call it “why is this happening” bolus or, “damn, has my site gone bad?” bolus.

  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)?
  Yes, some nights are bad.

  If you wake up in the middle of the night to treat a low, do you brush your teeth before going back to bed?
  I have peppermint gum in my bedside table. When I have lows in the night, I have no energy to get up and go brush my teeth.

  If you use a CGM, have you ever extended your sensor past its approved session duration?
  How do you get the tapes off, unplug the transmitter and replug it in w/o pulling out the sensor?

  It is virtually impossible. I need my husband to help me because there is no way to plug the transmitter into my arm one-handed. To extend the use of a sensor, you’d have to take off all of the tapes (Medtronic does not send extras) disconnect the transmitter w/o pulling the sensor out (ha!) recharge it, plug it back in, and retape (ask your doctor to prescribe more).

  Do you know the day and year that you received your T1D diagnosis? If you’re comfortable, share about your diagnosis in the comments!
  1969. Mom died Aug 1. The ER docs thought I was psychotic with grief. Had me on a couple of antidepressants. Went into a coma Oct. 31. Diagnosed 2 days later.

  How often do you clean your skin with an alcohol wipe before giving yourself an injection or inserting a new pump site or sensor?
  Always for the CGM, rarely for the pump site, never for an insulin injection. In 53 years, I’ve never had an injection site infection.

  When counting your carbs before dosing insulin, do you factor the amount of protein into your carb calculation at all? If so, share how in the comments!
  I bolus for carbs at mealtime and then two to four hours later for protein and fat which always raise my bg.
