  If you use an insulin pump or CGM, how does your summer wardrobe impact where you insert your pump or CGM? Select all that apply.
  My pump and CGM on my abdomen, pretty much all the time.

  Duh - my entire placement of sites is directed at getting the best adhesion, absorption, and keeping the things in. Appearance in summer clothes is very much secondary.

  Anita, Thank you. Yes, I have a thigh holder but I am pretty tall and always felt I had to go to the bathroom to bolus which defeats the purpose of the pump. And I never felt very secure with the thigh holder. I will look into the clothing line, though. Thank you!!

  I know there are clothing lines that make places to hold pumps while wearing a dress. Sorry I can't remember the brand or lady who designed these dresses, but diabetes-connections.com recently had an interview with the lady. I very rarely wear dresses, but if I do, I generally wear my pump on my thigh (using an insulin belt made for thighs) and just discreetly give myself a bolus while seated at a table. I use Tandem2x so with the bolusing from my phone which should be out soon will make it that much easier to bolus

  If I am flying I will put the Omnipod and Libre where it is easy to show security if I am asked. I have Global Entry so I am not asked very often what I have on my body. Also I have to remove the pump before the plane departs (or I get severe lows below 30) and then put it back on when we reach 35,000 feet so I need to be able to do that without much trouble.

Welcome – to the New T1D Exchange Community Experience

Susana Elman, 2 years ago 0 2 min read

For the last 10 years, T1D Exchange has worked with the T1D community to drive change, build connections, and strive for better, longer lives for people with type 1 diabetes. Our community here on Glu has been an essential component of that effort, as we’ve learned so much from you all of you about with T1D, sharing knowledge, offering support, accelerating research and more. As we move into our next decade of work for our community, we want to be able to bring the best content to each of you, on the best platform possible. In addition, we want to make sure that all the resources we’ve created together – from COVID-19 information packages to sick day guides, personal testimonies, and population surveys – are as accessible, shareable, and visible as possible.

A New T1D Exchange Community

In order to do so, we will be joining the T1D Exchange home page (T1DExchange.org) and Glu (MyGlu.org) website into a single, unified experience which will both allow easy access to all of our resources and improve usability, accessibility, and more. Every current Glu member will have their account copied to the new Community site, where you will be prompted to create a new password and confirm your settings. All the functionality you’re used to – commenting on stories, answering Questions of the Day, viewing relevant and up to date content and so much more – will be not only preserved but also improved by our new technology and platform. We’ll also be sending out periodic reminders to upgrade your account on the new platform, but don’t worry – the Glu site (myglu.org) will stay live for at least another month so that we have plenty of time to let everyone adjust and create their new password.

Your Participation Matters

We could not have built Glu, the T1D Exchange Registry, or the Quality Improvement Collaborative without your support and participation – and we need your help to share your voice as we enter into the next 10 years of driving better support for the T1D community, too. We will be posting more information on the new platform as we move forward, and we will continue to engage you throughout this transition!
