  Did you (or your child) have insulin resistance during growth spurts?
  There was no way to measure resistance (or blood sugar level) when I was growing up. First meter ('79) I was already 18 years old and beta tested MDI!

  Do you find that staying on top of your T1D routine becomes more difficult when there are fewer hours of daylight? Select all of the statements that apply to you.
  I've never even thought about this through 62 years of t1d. The things I would do in spring/summer (garden, lawn, etc) replaced by other things and thank G-d able to walk where I live all year around.

  Have you ever used inhaled insulin?
  Hi Tom! This is NOT the cost of Afrezza with or without insurance. They have an awesome patient assistance program for anyone who can't get insurance coverage. (Most insurance companies will say they don't cover it -- your doctor just has to appeal.) Here are two articles to learn more about getting/paying for Afrezza: https://beyondtype1.org/getting-inhaled-insulin/

  Today is the first day of National Diabetes Awareness Month! In the comments, please share your personal connection with T1D (e.g., “I have T1D myself”, “I have a child with T1D”, etc.) and then answer the following: What is one thing you wish someone close to you (a romantic partner, a parent, a friend) better understood about your experience with diabetes?
  I have T1D (and so does my Fiancé) I wish my family understood that I never get a break from diabetes and just having a little compassion would go a long way.

  If you use an insulin pump that allows you to give extended boluses, on average how often do you give an extended bolus?
  Nearly every bolus is Extended. I have a lot of scar tissue and very little fatty tissue, so infusion sites give me problems. Medtronic had a 'slow delivery' option that helped, but Tandem shoots the insulin into the site in 'spurts'. I've found the Extended bolus over 15 mins (the minimum time) emulates the 'slow delivery' option and has increased my TIR and site comfort.

  I've already gotten the product and a few of the inhalers but have been unable to schedule education (how to use it). If someone could point me in correct direction (or better tell me who to contact local to get help from company rep) would greatly appreciate

  Depending what I eat is what determines if I do extended bolus or not

  @K Ro Yes! My Endo is at a research hospital. They understand that T1s can benefit greatly from off-label meds...being that the only reason they're not approved for T1s is because "they can lower BG". Duh, that's the point. My Endo does this only for T1s who really get the math, understand the potential dangers. We stepped into it very slowly and carefully. The GLP1 has helped calm my liver (excess glucagon), replaces the effects of amylin (she's full!), and has reduced my total insulin needs by 50%. I do so much better. Without it, my carb ratio is 1:6 and ISF 1:80 (difficult to manage!). With GLP1, I'm 1:15 and 1:90, respectively, and basal is down by 40%. I use less than a typical T2 dose. It's been wonderful.

I was one of the early users of the insulin pump (> 41 years), CGMS (> 25 years) and worked on development of the infusion sets, pump and CGMS software as well as features. Currently involved in diabetes support and education, writing books for children in a way they can understand and feel comfortable with.
