  Do you approach strangers in public who have visible diabetes devices?
  I've never not made a comment about it while out in public. It's nice to recognize your people.

  Do you have a T1D-related tattoo?
  No, but I've thought about it a lot. I have to find the right design for me.

  Has your insulin pump ever overheated while in hot temperatures or in the sun?
  I was in a hot car with no air conditioning, and the pump was fine but the insulin got cooked.

  When you have unexpected high blood glucose levels, what are the most common reasons why? Select all options which most often apply to you.
  ADHD is a bitch and I do my best but sometimes I do forget to bolus when I get excited about my food.

  If you have T1D, have you also been clinically diagnosed with an anxiety disorder?
  Diagnosed with an Adjustment Disorder, which isn't specifically anxiety-related, and manifests with depressed mood for me. (Said Other in poll)

  If you use a CGM, in what situations has a sensor accidentally been pulled off your body? Select all that apply and share your own in the comments.
  The 16% of you who have never had one pull off...I don't believe you lol! I've had the adhesive just wear down on its own in the summer, from sweat, and it just starts to peel off.

  In your own words, how would you describe the feeling of a severe low?
  What's interesting is that I've begun taking Adderall for ADHD, and my doctor and I are still trying to find the right dosage. Lately I've found that 20mg XR is just too much for me, and describing how uncomfortable and out of it I felt, my ex-cocaine user boyfriend said that's exactly what coming down from speeding feels like. But what's interesting is that it also feels exactly like a low blood sugar. I kept checking my CGM but my blood sugars were all fine, but I still felt shaky and spacey. So apparently a low blood sugar has the same feeling as coming down off of speed/drugs.

  I've never had a very severe low -- only been T1D for 7 months. But if I am dropping very fast, I usually get this weird tunnel vision where I feel like everything is converging and I feel unsteady. Then the shaking, clammy feeling starts. Usually takes 25-30 mins to feel normal again, even when my blood sugar returns to normal.

  I classify a severe low as one where I become completely stupid - it affects my cognition first and then my peripherals - like shaking, and fast heart beat etc...

  I get confused. My thoughts are racing. Making no sense. Unbalanced and uncontrollable movements. Sweaty and cold.

  My thoughts are everywhere, non stopping, but making no sense. Confused. Unbalanced, if I try to walk. Cold and sweaty. Jerky movements and involuntary movements sometimes.

  Before Dexcom it was in the middle of the night and my husband woke me up because he said I felt very clammy to him. I was sweating profusely. I could barely think to get out the words to him to go get my bottle of juice from the fridge. I asked him to get my meter so I could check my bs. And it was no surprise that the number 21 came up.
