  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!

  How many times a month do you adjust your insulin pump settings?
  Monthly, zero. Teensy fine-tuning maybe once every 4,5, or 6 month. Once you get these formulas about 98% correct, the rest is icing on the cake. And, yes, diabetics can eat cake. Let them eat cake, as Marie Antoinette once observed in the 1700's. 🎀🎀

  I don't normally adjust settings often, but right now I am having a hard time getting my overnight settings correct. I keep slowly adjusting but still have not found the setting I am totally happy with

  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.

  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

  How often do you forget to bolus for meals or snacks?
  I chose rarely, as it has happened maybe three times in twenty years.

  How often do you forget to bolus for meals or snacks?
  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.

  Do you live with any sexual side effects of type 1 diabetes? If you’re comfortable, please share more in the comments.
  73 years of T1D. This is probably the ONLY area that has not been affected. . . . Yet. ✌️
