  Have you ever run out of or forgot to bring insulin when traveling? Please share in the comments how you handled the situation.
  No, but it is a reoccurring nightmare.

  When people talk about diabetes, are there trigger words that bother you? Please share what they are in the comments.
  How are your numbers? Oh, that's the bad kind of diabetes.

  Compared to a year ago, how much has your out-of-pocket cost increased for T1D devices and supplies?
  My costs have gone down, due to the cap on insulin.

  While CGM sensors are approved to wear for 7 to 14 days, how many days do you find your CGM sensor gives you the most accurate readings?
  You can pop out the transmitter with a test strip and restart.

  How much did you spend out-of-pocket on all of your diabetes medications and supplies from the start of July through the end of September 2023?
  Medicare covers it at 80 percent. If you have a supplement, that pays the other 20 percent.

  Have you read a diabetes-related book that you found particularly helpful? If so, share your recommendations in the comments!
  "Think Like a Pancreas" and the Pink Panther book I was given when I was diagnosed (even though I was a young adult).

  During your most recent appointment, about how much time did you spend with your main T1D health care provider?
  My provider spends at least 40 minutes with me. I never feel rushed.

  I became a T1D after having Whipple surgery. I was in the hospital for 11 days.

  I’m not sure why zero was not an option. I knew when I went to the doctor I had it. Ignored the symptoms until I dropped 10 lbs without trying and couldn’t bury my head in the sand anymore. Are a big piece of chocolate cake before I went because I figured that’s the last time I would be able to. Luckily, I am in control and can still have desserts every once in a while.

  Eight days in October 1970. I was several months shy of 4 years old, and these are my earliest memories. I remember having a board strapped to my right arm, ostensibly to hold the IV in place. (My mother told me that I asked how I broke my arm.) I also remember having a roommate who needed an oxygen tent, and wished I could be in there with her because it looked like fun. Finally, I remember an unpleasant nurse roughly turning me onto my tummy to take my temperature rectally. I clenched and refused and she yelled at me and told me the doctor would have to come in. I still refused and the doctor never came. It took me YEARS to recognize that the shame I felt about that should have been directed toward her BS behavior.

  Lost 10 kilos in two weeks, spent 2-3 days at UCLA medical center. The endocrinologist insisted I learn about food values, in addition to the training. (1970)

  Wow! After reading through the comments I thought I should clarify, I was hospitalized when i was diagnosed. I think in the early '60's that was standard. I just don't know for how long.

  I was only 2 years old, so I really do not know how long I was in the hospital.

  Same...and also at 38 (6 yrs and counting). They ran me around my Primary Care Physician's office, getting me all my supplies before setting me down in a Diabetes Educator's office. No Hospital needed.
