  Do you currently feel like the financial costs associated with T1D require you to make sacrifices in other areas of your life?
  My sacrifices are more like staying in a job because of health insurance than deciding to use different things due to cost.

  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.
  For diabetes stigma, I’ve been diabetic for 33 years. I’ve heard whispers I am a drug user, I’ve heard resteraunt staff make comments, I’ve had bosses, friends etc make comments. We have to educate people on what we are and what we do. You will notice no tv shows actively show diabetics being diabetics. There is no told show called my diabetic life. We have to educate others.

  Have you ever used inhaled insulin?
  No, the initial study showed cancel in 95% of participants who had ever smoked. I smoked over 20 years ago, but it isn’t worth the chance of getting cancer.

  I am a type 1 diabetic for about 40 years. I follow intensive insulin therapy. I have noted that that weather conditions affect the insulin intake quite drastically. Has there been any research findings on this?

  What have you learned about life with T1D this year?
  It's still hard. Yes you have to watch everything you eat, drink and how your stress levels are. Stress can definitely affect your Blood Sugars. You can have a Normal life and do whatever you want to do. Hopefully, there will be a Cure

  What are the causes of increases in blood sugar levels that are not connected to food or activity. My blood sugar levels will just increase while I'm sitting & If I don't catch it, it will go into the 200s. Very frustrating

  Hi Don - I didn't find an HCT number that Jneticdiabetic mentioned on the UVA school of medicine site. But, I did see an HSR# of 220300. Then I went to "clinicaltrials.gov" (thanks to Jneticdiabetic!!) and searched. This website does list the study you are looking for with the 220300 being an NCT# (not HSR as listed on the "med.virginia.edu" website.) In my opinion and if it were me, I would think it is legit. But, that is me. I hope that helps!

  Hi Don. All clinical trials in the US need to be registered at clinical trials.gov and are assigned an NCT number. You can search that website using key words, study site, etc to confirm legitimacy. The website will provide an overview of the study. If you are interested in possible participating in the study, you will be asked to sign a detailed consent form that spells out the details so you can make an informed choice if you want to proceed. Hope this helps! 😊

  Autoimmune conditions can be prevalent but variant in families. No one else has type 1 diabetes in mine, but many others: Addisons, Lupus, MS, we all share thyroid conditions. Would there be a way to genetically test and prevent this from happening at birth?

  Is the University of Virginia (UVA) Study Title: Adaptive Behavioral Control (ABC) in a Closed-Loop System: A Randomized Crossover Clinical Trial legitimate? I was approached today via email about a 6 month clinical study. The person I spoke with indicated I would receive 6 months of Dexcom CGM Transmitters and sensors. When I asked why I had to use those supplied by UVA her answer was "it is a controlled study." It sounds legitimate, but I'm a little unsure? Does the name Principal Investigator: Sue Brown, MD ring a bell with anyone? There is a payment to participants of $400/6 month study with partial payment if I drop out during the study. UVA will download an app onto my phone allowing UVA's WIP application to download my Dexcom readings and suggest tweaks to my basal and bolus settings. My readings will be reviewed with suggested adjustments every 14 days. This is all in the name of tighter control. Can anyone verify this study?

  I agree with you GiGi. (And, I'm sorry you spent so long taking a medication you didn't need.) We know that studies can be problematic if there isn't a variety of people involved, but how to fix that is a huge question. I tried to sign up for some studies a long time ago but was turned away because of my diabetes. So, whatever study it was had no data for diabetics. And, each of us is SO different in SO many ways! It's annoying to be placed in an actuarial table and made to conform to something that doesn't fit!
