  Do your coworkers know you have T1D at your current job (or at your most recent job if you’re currently not working)? Please share more in the comments.
  Not everyone, but closer friends are aware that I do.

  I have always been open with coworkers and supervisors about having T1D. The primary reason was that if something happened like severe hypoglycemia, they would know what to do.

  Yes, always. Why do you keep asking this question? It has been the QoD several times recently.

  I’m retired now, but I always let my coworkers know that I was T1D. Occasionally that helped save my life when hypoglycemia hit me.

  This is a requirement since I have severe hypoglycemia unawareness.

  I don’t need accommodation for T1D and didn’t find it necessary to disclose this to my coworkers. They may be aware of it as my pump and sensor are visible.

  In your opinion, how helpful is it to see a mental health professional who has a deep understanding of lifelong health conditions?
  I really think it just depends on the person who needs help. Some people may find it extremely useful and others may not find them of much help.

  I said helpful because unless they actually have first hand knowledge of your health condition they can't really know.

  If you have never participated in a diabetes research study, what stops you? Select all that applies to you.
  Back in the 80's I was in an NIH study. But I think now my age (72) ages me out) and my A1C's (5.4-5.8 for the past 20 years or so) exclude me.

  ALL of them are forced, given a seat at my T1D "table" whether they wish to be or not. They endure my experiences, their after-effects, the events themselves. Living with us, they are unwilling voyeurs/particip[ents This appears to be a badly worded question. If you meant, does anybody living with you ALSO have the disease T1D as well, you should have asked it that way. The question you kids wrote asks a far different question, by semantic accident it appears....?

  I answered "1" as I have T1D. However, it could be said that if any one person has T1D, everyone in the household is living with T1D. It affects everyone in house, not just the person with it.

  I fill out every survey I get and am currently participating in a phase 2 study of a new insulin. Note: I am 67 years old and I am seeing studies that allow up to age 89. Check out tektonresearch.com They have some exciting studies coming up. 😊

  How would you rate your overall health?
  I just have to say: Kudos to you. Your story is amazing. Congratulations and while it is simple to write this, I can only imagine the dedication, discipline, and hard work it took.
