Survey for Diabetes

Hope you've received lots of responses. Bumping to get it back up to the top.
 
Another one filled in.

It looks like the main thrust around this survey is inconvenience, pain and general difficulties around administering insulin. I've only been injecting since January so maybe those who've been doing it for decades will feel differently, but I can't say it bothers me much at all. It's just one extra thing I have to do, like brusing my teeth or ironing a shirt in the morning.

Of course I'm suerothers will feel differently and it's admirable to investigate how difficulties for these people could be allieviated, but I'd be curious to see how widespread this is. Could you share the data with us when your study is complete as it would be interesting to see.

I remember once the Daily Mail talking about a potential artificial pancreas and how it would end the 'misery' of injections for T! diabetics. Again at that time I thought misery was overstating it just a tad.
 
Done

I've had T1 for nearly four years and what I hate is having to calculate carbs vs insulin everytime I eat!
 

Sure I will definitely send in the report!

It is pretty tiring right? Every single food you eat, carb calculation is really impt.
 
all done
Good luck
 
Done!! must admit im pretty lax about my insulin. however i dont find it an inconvenience. I remember in 1999 there was a report saying the cure for diabetes would come in the new millennium and then on new years day 2000 when there wasnt a cure I cried because I thought it meant straight away (I was 9 at the time)
 
I normally give these surveys a wide birth... But I did this one..


Yep, unfortunately I have been hearing the rumour of a cure since the mid 70's..
"In ten years time there will be a cure! So stay well controlled & there will be less complications when it arrives..." Or a message to that end.
By the mid 90's I gave up on the cure.. But I'm still in control..!
