  Have you ever skipped a social gathering for diabetes-related reasons? Which of the following is most accurate for you?
  No, I would skip a social gathering for something like influenza, but certainly not because I live with diabetes.

  On a scale of 1-5, how satisfied are you with your current overall T1D care routine? (1 = the least satisfied, 5 = the most satisfied)
  As noted in another comment, I have given myself a 5, recognizing and giving myself credit for balancing all the factors that go into remaining healthy and in range. Although I too am concerned about the meta processes of T1, I am doing well with what I know and apply

  I’ve indicated my overall satisfaction with a 5, without a doubt things could be better with a cure but with the tools and diet that I’m currently on I’m completely satisfied. Happy New Year………🥳🎉

  I put 3. I often think about the other 5 hormones the islets produce. Even with optimized BG & insulin doses we can’t mimic what a healthy pancreas does. We need a cellular treatment to mimic what the islets do.

  I have no idea how you can keep your sugars in line by drinking regular sodas 3-5x/day!

  I don’t think I’ve ever skipped a function, but I have been delayed because of a bout of low blood sugar, which usually does indeed wear me out.

  If I get invited to anything that I might enjoy going g to, of course I will go. If I’m lucky, food that someone else arranged is involved. My diet plan is easily adapted. I’m going to be 80, and I’m still good company. Why wouldn’t I go?

  Usually because the daily struggle has me in such a funk I don't want to let that spill onto others.

  It is sometimes easy to be daunted by such a deterministic universe. I refuse. I am undaunted. I attend. ദ്ദി ˉ͈̀꒳ˉ͈́ )✧

  I voted No. I still go - but don't fully "participate. If it is a gathering at a restaurant and they have "bottomless coffee cup", I go and enjoy the coffee (good coffee is my indulgence). If it's a party - especially close by in my neighborhood - I attend but go home when it is time for the meal. The neighborhood parties are great fun, with dancing in the living room, so I go back for that part. Since I am not a foodie, missing the food part isn't a big deal.

  What is your preferred way to view your CGM readings?
  I totally wish we could clear alarms from our phones or watches too.

  I'm would love an oral medication or a complete cure, but I am grateful that the overall care has been improving constantly.
