  Do you bolus insulin for “total carbs” (including fiber) or “net carbs” (total carbs minus fiber)?
  If my meal includes more that 5 grams of fiber I subtract from carbs. Otherwise no.

  Do you keep track of where you rotate your CGM site?
  No need to track it’s pretty obvious. Switch sides each time and try to miss any visible puncture spots

  When you have low blood glucose, how anxious do you generally feel?
  It really depends on when I catch it and how low it is. If I see it early enough I treat it and just watch it to make sure it is recovering.

  Very anxious when it is really low, but not anxious at all when it is just mildly low.

  My anxiety kicks in a bit when low treatments seem to take forever to have an impact.

  It depends on how fast it is dropping and how quickly it responds to my attempts to raise it back to normal.

  It all depends on how low, where I am and what I'm doing and if I can easily eat/drink fast acting carbs to treat it. I only get anxious if it's taking a long time to bring bg level up to my target of 110 and I'm out in public.

  Depends on how low and what I am doing. Like today I had one at work where Dexcom said low but because I could treat and had two people with them, aware of it, I was okay.

  Depends on how low and for how long. Generally not anxious as much as sweating and foggy headed.

  I usually get more annoyed than anxious...It typically happens when I'm in the middle of working! I work as a private clarinet instructor so it's just me and the student and it's really difficult to string words together when I'm low.

  I don’t feel anxious when my blood sugar goes low but when it goes high, I get very worried.

Why I Joined

Diabetes Awareness Month is coming up and T1D Exchange is inviting individuals to spread type 1 diabetes awareness, educate the public, and inspire others to participate in type 1 diabetes research by sharing your voice in our “Why I Joined” campaign.

Help us influence others on the importance of diabetes research by recording a short video of yourself expressing why you joined the T1D Exchange Registry, what diabetes research means to you and anything else you want to share with our community. We will be showcasing our participants stories on our website and social media channels all month long.

Your involvement in the T1D Exchange Registry helps support ongoing advocacy work and initiatives that help lead to real-world outcomes. Help us influence others to get involved during National Diabetes Awareness Month!

To record your video, find a quiet space with good lighting. This can be done using your phone, a laptop or any camera that records video. Please speak clearly and honestly.

Introduce yourself then answer the following questions:

Why did you join the Registry?
What does research mean to you living with Type 1 Diabetes?
Why should others join the Registry?
Why is diversity important in research?
What is one thing you want people to know about living with Type 1 Diabetes?

When you are finished with your recording, please submit your video below (No larger than 100mb), along with a completed video release form. (The form is in PDF format and an e-signature is allowed.)

IMPORTANT: Please read before submitting

Must be 18 or older to participate, or under supervision of a parent or guardian, and submitted a signed release form.

Your video, if selected, will only be used according to the terms stated in the “Video Release Form”. T1D Exchange will never sell any personal information to third parties. The Video Release Form is required in order to participate in this program. Please use good judgement in creating your video. Any inappropriate content will not be considered.
