  In addition to T1D, do you live with an eating disorder or disordered eating habits? Please comment if you would like to share more.
  I said no, but I tend to forget to eat. I’m not hungry very often have to force myself like today. I had a yogurt now it’s 3 o’clock no lunch guess it’s a disorder at times. The only time I do have trouble with my blood sugar is when I eat Never seem to get the carb ratio right?

  On average, how many correction boluses do you give yourself in a day (excluding food boluses)?
  So many variables this is kind of a nothing question

  It is recommended to use an insulin vial or pen within 28 days of opening it, but not everyone can discard unused insulin. What do you do with your unused insulin after it’s been open for more than 28 days?
  I usually use a full bottle a month because of all the waste with the pump in the lines and cartridges

  On a scale of 1-5, how satisfied are you with your current overall T1D care routine? (1 = the least satisfied, 5 = the most satisfied)
  I don’t eat any sweets just never could get it right, so I just avoid it. I have trouble with regular food never get that right either. It’s always a guessing game.

  How does drinking caffeinated drinks impact your blood glucose levels? Share more about your experience with caffeine in the comments.
  A tablespoon of milk is not gonna make that much of a difference. It’s the coffee for me. I’ve tried it both ways but thanks for your input.

  On a scale of 1-5, how satisfied are you with your current insulin delivery method (pump, pens, syringes, inhaler, etc.)? 5 = the most satisfied, 1 = the least satisfied
  Adjust your basals at the time you go high you can see a pattern slight increments make a big difference

  If you have experienced severe hypoglycemia that resulted in a loss of consciousness, when was your most recent experience losing consciousness during a low?
  Back when I was 25 which was 51 years ago I was getting ready for a new roommate on NPH insulin and I did not eat. I remember falling getting up and falling again broke my foot. I don’t know how I made through that one there was no one around, that was a very scary time that NPH insulin was a killer and the fact we didn’t know what was going on

  Do you notice that different brands of the same type of insulin impact you differently?
  I was on Fiasp with the medtronic pump since switching to tandem. I am now back on NovoLog the Fiasp clogs the line in tandem. The difference I noticed is the Fiasp is a bit faster acting

  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 tandem T slim IQX2 I would change the target range while using the automatic system. I like a range of about 95 to 110 right now it’s set at 1:10. I do love the fact I haven’t had the lows I used to have, but I am running a bit higher and I’m sure my A1c won’t be quite as good as he usually 5.6 I think it will be more like six now.

  Have you ever used insulin that was unrefrigerated for more than 28 days?
  Back in the day when we didn’t know anything like 1967 I went to Europe for three months with a girlfriend, and I had all my medicine with me never knew where I was kind of archaic. It’s amazing I made it.

  When eating a serving of animal protein (chicken, fish, steak, pork, etc.), do you calculate additional insulin for your meal bolus? Share what works for you in the comments!
  I have never found a need to do this and the few times I tried it it backfired on me. I never get a meal right anyway and if I start adding protein, I’ll get in big trouble. 62 yrs T1D
