  If you use an insulin pump, which of these options best describes when you most often change your pump site?
  No routine - whenever the reservoir is low and the time is convenient. I used to have a set evening time but now that I can see an accurate number of insulin units left, I try to use it up. In fact, I’m so reluctant to waste insulin that before changing my site I will often eat something and bolus for it, even when I’m not hungry, just to use those last few units of insulin!

  At your current job (or most recent, if you are not currently working), do the coworkers with whom you regularly interact know you have T1D?
  Now working from home most of the time, there isn’t the need for coworkers to be aware. I think a few close work friends know.

  If you have T1D, have you ever dated or married someone who also has T1D?
  I answered “no.” I don’t think my girlfriend at diabetes children’s camp when I was 13 counts. While I think there would be a lot I would have in common with a partner with T1D, I wouldn’t want that to be what brought us together, and I don’t think it would keep us together.

  In the past three years, have you been hospitalized due to T1D?

  What are three foods that raise your blood glucose the most dramatically despite your best efforts to count the carbs, pre-bolus insulin, and manage the impact?
  French fries, white rice, pizza

  In the past 24 hours, how many times has your blood glucose risen above 180 mg/dL (10.0 mmol/L)? (For this question, we are looking at separate periods of hyperglycemia, rather than consecutive glucose readings above 180 mg/dL.)
  Good question for the community! I responded “2” but it would be interesting to see who uses a CGM and who does not. Years ago this number would have likely been higher, but without the CGM I was probably unaware of the high BG.

  What foods or products do you keep on-hand specifically for hypoglycemia/lows?
  The little packets of fruit chews, from Welch’s, available at Costco.
