  Have you received an award or medal from a program that recognizes how long someone has lived with T1D? (For example, 10, 25, 50, or 75 years living with T1D)
  I received a 50 year medal. But it was tough to prove my 1956 diagnosis of T1D.

  Eligible for anyone's T1D 50 year medal(s), in theory. Considering the privacy implications, re: potential new employment and their background internet searches. Illegal to not hire because of T1D but employers do and will. No interest in giving a potential employer ammunition to use against me, if I can prevent it outright. Plus all primary "verification" is gone; no human sources are alive, no written records exist from that period as actual proof. So considering the possibility but gravely concerned I am able to meet the threshold required for proof for anybody's T1D medal(s). Sigh...

  I received the Joslin 50-year medal 2 years ago, but I have had T1D for 63 years in June. Thankfully my endocrinologist submitted the paperwork for me since I have been his patient for 30 years. There are no records of my diagnosis or pediatrician. My Mom is still alive but has dementia and thinks I have been cured.

  What advice would you give to someone who is having connectivity issues between their CGM and receiving device (smartphone, insulin pump)?
  This is just a simple comment, For pump connectivity, keep the pump and CGM on the same side of your body.

  Start by turning your phone completely off and on again. Sometimes it is updates that need to occur to make them sync together. Then call tech support for the device and ask for help.

  If you have T1D, have you ever dated or married someone who also has T1D?
  No, unless you count the "boyfriend" aka dance date at Diabetes Camp. LOL

  At the time we dated and were married my wife was not diabetic. She was diagnosed as T1D during/after her first pregnancy. We shared T1D through the next 37 years and a second pregnancy!
