  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.

  When the current reservoir is nearly or completely empty. T1D is such an interruption! :-)

  I change whenever it runs out. I’m not a machine so my insulin use varies everyday. I wish I could actually plan the same time always.

  Whenever the "20 units left" alarm goes off. Which can be at any time in a 24 hour period...

  I change it when it is out of insulin or has expired. This varies greatly. Use the omnipod 5 it's awesome. Lasts typically 3 days plus 8 hours.

  Whatever time of day when I need to replace the infusion set. Do any peer reviewed studies exist regarding best outcomes in A1c relating to time of day?

  No set time of the day. It varies and depends on when the reservoir is low and about to run out.

  Diabetes-related stress can affect a person’s emotional well-being, leading to feelings of frustration, burnout, diabetes distress, and others. Has T1D impacted your emotional health?
  I am so used to living with T1D that it very rarely stresses me out any longer. It is what it is and I have learned to problem solve and self-advocate to manage the occasional glitches that come up.

  Didn't quite want to say "never." More common is forgetting to PRE-bolus and only remembering when I see those potatoes on my dinner plate.
