  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.

Share Your Voice During National Diabetes Awareness Month

Sarah Howard, 4 years ago 0 2 min read

Every November, the type 1 diabetes community comes together for National Diabetes Awareness Month to celebrate and support people living with T1D. This year, the T1D community has shown more strength than ever. From adjusting to new routines, to being away from their support systems, people with T1D and their loved ones have been resilient this year, and we want to honor that with you.

Join us in raising awareness this November!

30 Facts in 30 Days

On the T1D Exchange Instagram (@T1DExchange), we will be sharing facts and insights that we have learned from the T1D Exchange Registry. When you see a post that resonates with you, share it on your social media platforms! Be sure to follow @T1DExchange to learn more.

Share Your Voice

Tell us about your type 1 diabetes story on social media throughout November and join the T1D Exchange Registry! The T1D Exchange Registry is a way for you to participate in research that may make a difference in the treatment and care of type 1 diabetes. By confidentially sharing your experiences, you will help create the most comprehensive data set of those diagnosed with type 1 diabetes in the United States, advancing meaningful treatment, care, and policy.

T1D Exchange will be showcasing our participants’ stories on our website and social media channels all month long! Click here to learn more.

Connect with Others on the T1D Exchange Online Community

Share your experiences through our Question of the Day, see the latest T1D news, and build your community of people who know what it’s like to live with T1D or care for someone with T1D.

Give Express Feedback for Good

Starting November 23rd, T1D Exchange is partnering with Express Feedback for Good to fundraise for type 1 diabetes research. Through this program, you can give your quick opinions about different products, services and experiences from brands, and the proceeds will go to T1D Exchange. Keep an eye out for an email with instructions from T1D Exchange later in November!
