  Do you use any of the following insulin pumps right now?

  I've been using the Tandem TSlim and Dexcom CGM combination since around 2014? Used Medtronic before that. I'm happy with my Tandem/Dexcom combo, with Tandem Control IQ. There is always room for improvement, but we've come a long way...

  I am similar. Use Omni 5 some of the time and DIY loop other times. It's economics. My Omnipod 5 is too expensive on my insurance plan.

  Using OmniPod 5 now because I love being tubeless. Once tandem is tubeless I will switch back to that system.

  Do you have any special plans during National Diabetes Awareness Month this November?
  I not only love the idea of a "Dead Pancreas Society,” I cannot wait to buy a shirt or sweatshirt and wear one to my next in-person endocrinology visit. (Most are zoom visits.) 😋👻😋

  On average, how many correction boluses (with a syringe, pen, or pump) do you give in a day?
  I’m on the 780g now, so it takes care of things. So the last 24hrs I’ve been 99% TIR. With that, it’s done some micro boluses, but every day will be different depending what I ate, and how closely the carb count was

  2-3. I think I've gotten in the habit of giving it a little preventative push when I see my post-prandial getting up there and relying on my C:IQ to drop my basal later if necessary. So I don't know if that's a "correction," in the standard sense, but it seems to work pretty well. Just saw my endo last week and I had 99% TIR and a 5.6 AIC.

  I always celebrate World Diabetes Day November 14. It's my birthday. This year, I got a 5.6 A1C for my birthday, well actually my endo appointment was the day before, but that counts. Lowest I've ever had since dx in 1983. I finally got to normal! Only took 41 years.

  Have you updated your T1D devices to reflect daylight savings time?
  Tandem's software starts to complain if my pump and phone have times that are more than a minute different.

  My devices are all updated, but I'm not sure if my internal clock has been reset.

  If you’ve had extra supplies from a device that you no longer use, what did you do with them? (Check all that apply)
  Insulin Pumpers does a great job of distribing extra or unused supplies.

  Have donated to insulinpumpers in the past, but ended up throwing away some for my old pump recently which were past their use/by date. Had kept my old pump as a back up, but, in 4 1/2 years, never actually used it that way.
