  What type of glucagon do you have an active prescription for?
  I selected "Other". I use GlucaGen Hypo Kits, but I don't live in the United States. (I'm from the UK (United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.))

  I have never had to use it so far. But having them is like having insurance. You never know when you'll need them.

  Have you ever used a professional (outside your T1D healthcare team) to review your diabetes data, adjust settings, and/or insulin ratios?
  This reply is to Karen, Thank you! I did promise to bring my Mensa card to the next appt. There was no "next appt", I got transferred to another Endo who is showing himself to be "trainable". BTW, it's my mother's Mensa card, if I hold it right, you can't see the different first names. She advised me not to join - it was a gathering of old white guys, very full of themselves!

  I wasn't part of the Tandem trial... but, boy, I wish I were! My Control IQ experience wasn't good and I ended up stopping its use. I am participating in a trial right now and the doctor is SO amazing. I've gotten lots of good info from him. I think there's a chance I'll be able to get back on Control IQ with them.

  I said yes, because about five years ago I was part of the clinical trial for Tandem's Control IQ and the study team had some top notch Diabetes Educators and one of them helped me tweek my pump settings monthly to take advantage of the Control IQ algorithm. I miss the expertise.

  How many years have you been wearing a continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) device?
  I've been using a CMG for 17 years. Started out with a Medtronic sensor, that drove me nuts with all the alarms and calibrations.

  I used IDS (Integrated Diabetes Services) when I started on CIQ during the pandemic. It was very helpful.

  It varies. I usually change it when I’m down to 4–6 units, earlier if my bG is stubbornly high. I try to change it before a meal

  I usually prebolus a short time before eating, however, I may forget to bolus if I am starting to eat with a low blood sugar and I want to wait about 10 minutes after I start eating to bolus. Since I usually don't bolus after I start eating, I may occasionally forget.
