  How long after your T1D diagnosis did you start using a CGM? Please share more in the comments.
  Some of us used to test our glucose with droplets of urine in a test tube :-)

  How many people in your family live with T1D? Please share more about which family members in the comments.
  I think the question was worded poorly. I said 1 because I am the only one -- and I am in "my family." But there is no way 37% of the respondents on this site have nobody "in their family" with diabetes, not even themselves.

  Agree. It didn’t say ‘other’ people in family so I counted myself.

  After diagnosis, when did you start using an insulin pump?
  I was diagnosed in 1975, started on a pump in 1997. I don’t know how much sooner I could have started, unless I used one of those backpack-sized prototypes in the 1980s.

  It would be helpful if you put out some general demographic info about the people who are on this list. For example, this response may be effected by older people like me who had diabetes before pumps were develop. if you asked only people under 30 yrs then you'd get a completely different answer. It's like asking at what age did you get a cell phone. They like pumps didn't exist for about 50 years of my life LOL.

  It was 20 years later in 2001. I got it in 1998 or 1999 but it took a few years to really get comfortable with the idea of becoming a cyborg. It was a good run for 17 years, but the constant supply of insulin caused me to gain 100+ lbs. Switched back to MDI and likely will never go back.

  I was diagnosed in 1983 so it wasn’t available. But I love having one now. Wish it was available 40 years ago.

  No insulin pumps or even blood glucose test kits available when I got diagnosed. I was urinating on a litmus strip and trying to match the color to see where I was; ugh!, we have come a long way, still not to a cure yet, but progress has been made. Let's keep going.

  Diagnosed in 1971, so it was 20-25 years before pumps were common.

How often do you switch to manual mode if you use an insulin pump with automated insulin delivery (AID) capabilities?
