  Diabetes-related stigma can range from one-off negative and misinformed comments to more pervasive experiences that lead people to feel they need to hide their T1D. In what situations have you experienced diabetes stigma? Select all options that apply to you.
  Maybe I’m just unaware, but over 58 years I’m not really aware of anything but sensitive sympathy in social circumstances. I must live in a great crowd of people!

  CGM sites, finger pricks, and repeated insulin injections can all cause visible scar tissue. How much visible scar tissue do you have on your body, and does it bother you?
  Most issues are black patches when I bleed, but most clear up. In addition I’ve been injecting into my stomach flab for at least thirty years now, so it’s not really often on public show

  How much do you think your blood glucose levels impact your overall mood? (For example, being more likely to cry or feel sad when low, feeling irritable when glucose levels are high, etc.)
  After several months when I was low too often I even went for a mental check up. Now I have CGM, and am managing better, at least, that mood depression has left me

  How did you schedule your next appointment with your main T1D health care provider?
  I always schedule my next appointment as part of my current one. Usually I see my consultant every six months. The same person has looked after me for at least a decade now.

  The food we choose to eat as people with T1D is so personal, and each food impacts every person differently. What foods do you prefer to eat for your first meal of the day? Share what works for you in the comments!
  Over my past 50+ years with T1D diabetes so much has changed. I can’t imagine going back to urine testing for sugar. My wife and I have settled on a Banting type living style. We enjoy meat, butter, other fats, vegetables and nuts that grow above the ground. Moving to CGM maybe two years ago, has revolutionised living. I’m free to walk most days slowly learning what extra fat is needed for the various energy level demands different walk require. Life is good!

  Do you dispose of used needles, syringes, lancets, and other sharps in a dedicated sharps container? For this question, “sharps container” includes heavy-duty plastic containers such as an empty laundry detergent bottle or plastic coffee container.
  I return all used needles to the pharmacy for waste management

  How much do you think your close friends know about T1D? Select all of the statements that you think are true for you.
  Over the past 57 years I have had several hypos where I pass out entirely. This has taught me to talk about and explain my T1D and I have usually been rescued by my acquaintances, often work colleagues rather than close friends. It sure helps when others pick up signs of hypo before I can!

  Recent advancements in insulin pens have led to the availability of “smart” insulin pens, pen caps, and other attachments with higher tech features compared to standard insulin pens. Do you currently use any of the following smart insulin pens/caps, or smart attachments?
  My smart pen cap records when last I removed the cap. Great when memory fails to record whether or not I’ve injected. At 80 I previously often forgot and either under or double injected Don’t know trade name. Have to rediscover when stops working
