  If you (or someone in your immediate family) have T1D, has anyone in your family been screened for T1D antibodies?
  Can we stop with the antibodies questions already?!??!!?!?

  No. I doubt that there is an interest. I appear to be the anomaly in my family.

  How concerned are you about being able to afford your next T1D supply order?
  A little concerned, more so than usual. I currently have insurance that covers diabetes supplies completely but I don’t take this for granted.

  I live in a constant fear of losing my health insurance, or having it change to something that makes all my durable medical and prescriptions too expensive.

  In addition to injectable insulin, have you ever used other therapies such as inhalable insulin, oral medications like metformin, or GLP-1s like Ozempic?
  I’ve been taking Rybelsus for 3 years now. I’ve lost 50+ pounds, reduced my insulin by 65% and have kept my A1C at a steady 6.3!!

  Yes, I tried metformin, Ozempic, and Zepbound. The only one that worked, and worked really well was zepbound. Unfortunately, when my insurance changed, I could no longer get it because it wasn't covered and the T2 version which is Mounjaro I could not get off lable because I am T1. Zepbound cut my insulin needs in half and I lost 30 lbs. I would take it again just for the insulin resistance tho. However, I have some lingering insulin resistance improvement even with discontinuing it in Sept, though I have gained a little weight back.

  Which of the following can make exercising more challenging for you? (Select all that apply)
  As an avid hiker, climber and mountaineer my challenges are mostly weather related. Is my pump warm enough, are my extra supplies warm enough, is my insulin starting to freeze.

  I was taking metformin at the beginning of this journey, because at 40 they assumed T2. (No family history, not overweight, was running 3-4 miles 2-3x week). Put on insulin when endo diagnosed me with LADA.

  Which of the following is the most important to you when choosing diabetes devices or supplies?
  I would like to say accuracy, but if it’s not covered and I can’t afford it, then it’s not happening.

  Hard to say only one is most important. I would not use any device that was problematic on any of these except with a minor level of discomfort/wearability. Maybe the better question is ask to rank these or ask if any are unimportant …

  What kind of diabetes-related support would be most helpful to you right now?
  Funny you should ask, and I'm with Amanda Barras - dealing with the US insurance and networks system. I switched health plans, effective 1/1/26. My old plan stopped processing Rx's two weeks before (Rx's for pump and CGM supplies). With the network system in US healthcare, I can't see a doctor until September. Since I have different coverage for my supplies (including insulin) I need new Rx's. Having to check in often to see if their are open appointments from cancellations, and trying to see if a Zoom care or Urgent care will provide "bridge refills". My old health plan will not issue bridge refills. I 'spose it isn't strictly a T1D issue - but it's one that unites all of us with chronic medical conditions (and chronic poor medical service)
