  Do you bolus insulin for “total carbs” (including fiber) or “net carbs” (total carbs minus fiber)?
  If my meal includes more that 5 grams of fiber I subtract from carbs. Otherwise no.

  Do you keep track of where you rotate your CGM site?
  No need to track it’s pretty obvious. Switch sides each time and try to miss any visible puncture spots

  When you have low blood glucose, how anxious do you generally feel?
  It really depends on when I catch it and how low it is. If I see it early enough I treat it and just watch it to make sure it is recovering.

  Very anxious when it is really low, but not anxious at all when it is just mildly low.

  My anxiety kicks in a bit when low treatments seem to take forever to have an impact.

  It depends on how fast it is dropping and how quickly it responds to my attempts to raise it back to normal.

  When you have low blood glucose, how anxious do you generally feel?
  It all depends on how low, where I am and what I'm doing and if I can easily eat/drink fast acting carbs to treat it. I only get anxious if it's taking a long time to bring bg level up to my target of 110 and I'm out in public.

  Depends on how low and what I am doing. Like today I had one at work where Dexcom said low but because I could treat and had two people with them, aware of it, I was okay.

  Depends on how low and for how long. Generally not anxious as much as sweating and foggy headed.

  I usually get more annoyed than anxious...It typically happens when I'm in the middle of working! I work as a private clarinet instructor so it's just me and the student and it's really difficult to string words together when I'm low.

  I don’t feel anxious when my blood sugar goes low but when it goes high, I get very worried.

New Ways to Give to T1D Exchange

Samantha Walsh, 4 years ago 0 2 min read

Thank you to the T1D Exchange community for all the ways you support type 1 diabetes (T1D) research! Together, we have made a significant impact for the T1D community. Because of your commitment to research, we recently were able to:

Expand the Quality Improvement Collaborative Clinics to 32 endocrinology clinics
Grow the T1D Exchange Registry to over 12,000 participants
Publish groundbreaking research on COVID-19 and T1D

We are excited to share new ways to support T1D research and how to get further involved with our current initiatives. Below are some of the new ways you can partner with T1D Exchange this year:

Donor Advised Fund (DAF)
Have a Donor Advised Fund? T1D Exchange is now encouraging donors to make a tax-deductible charitable donation through their DAF’s! Donors can give cash, stock and other assets through their DAF.
Reoccurring gifts: Monthly, Bi-monthly or Quarterly!
One of the best ways to have a lasting effect on the T1D community is to join T1D Exchange’s new monthly sustainer program. On our main donation page, you can choose to have a reoccurring gift made on a monthly, bi-monthly or quarterly basis.
Do it Yourself (DIY) Event
From celebrating milestones to hosting a local talent show, a DIY event is a fun way to support T1D Exchange! If you’re looking for creative ways to have a fundraising event to benefit T1D Exchange, please reach out to srobinson@t1dexchange.org for more information.
Cause-Related Marketing
T1D Exchange is growing our cause-related marketing program! If you have a product that is related to diabetes, we invite you to join us in improving treatments and care for people with T1D.
Employee Matching Gift Program
Thinking of making a donation, but want your gift to go even further? Many companies match employee gifts to organizations, doubling the impact of your gift! Check here to see if your employee has a matching gift program.

If you’re interested in learning more about our new giving platforms or would like more information on how you can support T1D Exchange, please contact Samantha Robinson, Partnerships & Advancement Coordinator at srobinson@t1dexchange.org.
