| StephenS @StephenSType1 RT @DiabetesSocMed: Q1. How many times per day do you think about hypoglycemia? #dsma |
| Jenn C @JennMamaBear Q1: Depends on when my last hypo was. A recent one, I think about it more often than if it's been a few days. #dsma |
| Lesley Kimball @poeticlibrarian Q1. Depends on how often it is happening... usually too often. I don't worry about it, but avg a couple of lows per day #dsma |
| Janis N. Senungetuk @JanJava A1. At least once a day, but I don't obsess over it. #dsma |
| Diabetes Social Media Advocacy @DiabetesSocMed RT @JennMamaBear: Q1: Q1: Depends on when my last hypo was. A recent one, I think about it more often than if it's been a few days. #dsma |
| Candy Parker @candyp4 At least once. Very brittle! #dsma https://t.co/fAnlOhS3rP |
| Juvenile Johnny @T1DJohnny Q1. After bolusing for each meal. Always hope for the best, but each dose is a guess. #dsma |
| Lesley Kimball @poeticlibrarian @KarenBittrSweet Me too :( #dsma |
| Diabetes Social Media Advocacy @DiabetesSocMed RT @Rc_Tomato: |
| Douglas @salguodmai I'm hypo 1% of the time according to my #CGM readings, I hardly think of lows #dsma https://t.co/6W1EXmKjPV |
| A Diabetic Comic✊🏾 @ChelcieRice Q1 Maybe once. Mostly before bed #dsma |
 | Chris Stocker @LifeofaDiabetic I'm late, but what else is new. I'm here and I'm ready to chat #DSMA |
| Gautam Narang @hylozoists @DiabetesSocMed only when getting ready to sleep. My hypos are only at night, when I am not conscoiusly in control #dsma |

 | cynthia rogers-celt @CynthiaCelt Hello hello! Cynthia from Boise. I have Diabetes. Which is my excuse for being late! #dsma 😜 |
| The Practical Diabetic (Leon Tribe) @PracticalDeeb @DiabetesSocMed A1: Never. Still fortunate enough to be in LADA honeymoon and not on insulin but learning what I can before the inevitable #DSMA |
| Chris Stocker @LifeofaDiabetic Q1 unfortunately, almost never. Bc I've always lived the "I'd rather be higher than lower" mentality, but just today I decided no more #DSMA |
| StephenS @StephenSType1 @LifeofaDiabetic Hello Chris... I was late too #dsma |
| Stacey Simms @staceysimms Q1: once or twice. Much more when B was younger. Ages 11-12 have meant more high BGs. Still worry about over-correcting. #dsma |
| Mindy Bartleson (she/her) @mindy_bartleson A1: depends on frequency. Or if something important is going on that I don't want a low to turn my brain into jello. #DSMA |
| Emilie T @SweetHiyachica Q1. A couple times a day, more if Dex says I'm running in range, i.e., close to going low. #dsma |
| Chris Stocker @LifeofaDiabetic Q1 so that's kind weird this question came up tonight. Maybe it was meant to be this way. #DSMA |
| Gary Rind @garyrind @DiabetesSocMed Q1 normally, twice per day - between breakfast - lunch & bedtime #DSMA |
| Mindy Bartleson (she/her) @mindy_bartleson RT @ChelcieRice: Q1 Maybe once. Mostly before bed #dsma |
| Mike Hoskins @MHoskins2179 For hypos.. because each = 12g and I don't have to measure out while low. #dsma https://t.co/27b0GqNPYe |
| Brenda Bell @tmana Q1. Rarely, if ever. If I'm feeling more hungry or out of it than usual, or if I've got a long queue of customers @ break time #dsma |
 | Heather R. Walker, Ph.D. @Heather_RoseW Q1. I think about hypoglycemia as often as every hour I'm awake. It's a creeping worry I can't get away from... #downer #dsma |

| Mike Barry 💉 @mikebarry44 @MHoskins2179 Plus, vitamin C, makes your hair shiny! #DSMA |
| Chris Stocker @LifeofaDiabetic @MHoskins2179 Wait, what's this measure out stuff? You're not just supposed to go overboard with sugar until you feel fine then keep going? #DSMA |
| StephenS @StephenSType1 RT @DiabetesSocMed: Q2. What do you call it when your blood sugar goes below 60? or below 40? #dsma |
| Lesley Kimball @poeticlibrarian @KarenBittrSweet @poeticlibrarian I've had some serious problems with hypo unawareness before. I hate highs and tend toward low #dsma |

| Stacey Simms @staceysimms Q2: Honestly, first couple of years I worried about lows whenever he napped. Low or sleeping? Oy, #t1d toddlers! #dsma |
| Heather R. Walker, Ph.D. @Heather_RoseW Q2. Low is low in my book. Though 45 and below I might describe as a "scary low" or an "icky low" #Hypoglycemia #dsma |
| cynthia rogers-celt @CynthiaCelt Q1. I think just maybe once a day? I don't think about the actual event as much as what I have stashed where to treat if needed! #dsma |
| Mindy Bartleson (she/her) @mindy_bartleson A2: I consider below 40 super low or "call someone until I'm up" low. #DSMA |
| Diabetes Social Media Advocacy @DiabetesSocMed RT @HeatherGabel: Q2. Low is low in my book. Though 45 and below I might describe as a "scary low" or an "icky low" #Hypoglycemia #dsma |

| Candy Parker @candyp4 I call it horrible for the rest of the day!! No leading symptoms but definitely reactions!! #dsma https://t.co/QdTqXA9DHG |
| Chris Stocker @LifeofaDiabetic @asbrown1 Now this is getting super weird. Some book called Brightspots and Landmines, you may have heard of it #DSMA #walkingtestiomonialforthebook |
| Jenn C @JennMamaBear RT @HeatherGabel: Q2. Low is low in my book. Though 45 and below I might describe as a "scary low" or an "icky low" #Hypoglycemia #dsma |

| Mindy Bartleson (she/her) @mindy_bartleson RT @ChelcieRice: Q2 The Boogie Down #dsma |
| Arden's Day T1D @ArdensDay Q1. Only if it’s present or coming quickly. Otherwise I trust the process, expect it to fail at times and react appropriately. #dsma |
| Mike Hoskins @MHoskins2179 Q1. I think of hypos at least once or twice a day, usually. My CGM helps keep me on track & feel safe. #dsma #BeyondA1C |
| Heather R. Walker, Ph.D. @Heather_RoseW Hahaha that's real!! 😂😂 @Rc_Tomato #dsma |
| StephenS @StephenSType1 RT @JennMamaBear: RT @HeatherGabel: RT @HeatherGabel: Q2. Low is low in my book. Though 45 and below I might describe as a "scary low" or an "icky low" #Hypoglycemia #dsma |

| A Diabetic Comic✊🏾 @ChelcieRice Q2 Th' D #dsma |
| The Practical Diabetic (Leon Tribe) @PracticalDeeb @DiabetesSocMed A2: Thankfully I've never been below 70 (3.9 in our scale). Even 3.9 freaked me out though. #DSMA |
| Stacey Simms @staceysimms Q2: Just low. He can feel worse at 75 than 45. Really depends on how he feels rather than just meter number. #dsma |
| Amanda Jo @AmandaJoCountry @Pancreassassin I'm late too. We can be fashionably late to the party together #dsma |
| Pancreassassin @Pancreassassin 1. I think about hypos very time I bolus. Is it going to mess me up? #dsma |
| Gautam Narang @hylozoists @DiabetesSocMed .a failure on the part of my liver to release glycogen when my body requires it the most. #dsma |
| Arden's Day T1D @ArdensDay I act under 65. Act fast under 60. In the end much depends on how fast or if the BG is falling. #dsma q2 https://t.co/n7oGM54nmT |
| Diabetes Social Media Advocacy @DiabetesSocMed Q3. What do you consider to be mild hypoglycemia? Severe? #dsma |
| Pancreassassin @Pancreassassin 2. Below 70 is low. Under 40 is wow low. #dsma |
| StephenS @StephenSType1 RT @DiabetesSocMed: Q3. What do you consider to be mild hypoglycemia? Severe? #dsma |
| Brenda Bell @tmana Q2. FWIW, my goal range is 80-120. It's extremely rare for me to drop below 80 #dsma |
| Pancreassassin @Pancreassassin 3. Mild hypo is 50's and 60's. #dsma |
| Stacey Simms @staceysimms @LifeofaDiabetic @asbrown1 You guys!!! #dsma |

| Mike Barry 💉 @mikebarry44 @StephenSType1 @KarenBittrSweet *takes medical advice* nom nom #DSMA |
| Mike Hoskins @MHoskins2179 Q2. #dsma Frustrating. And usually there's some vulgarity. Hypos are distracting. |
| Douglas @salguodmai @DiabetesSocMed Below 60 isn't so bad or so scary, below 40 I'm a little nervous. No names for something like that. #dsma |
| Mike Barry 💉 @mikebarry44 @diabetesalish Danzig! #DSMA |
| Arden's Day T1D @ArdensDay Q2 continued. A steady 65 may just get a decreased temp basal… #dsma |
| Jenn C @JennMamaBear Q3: Mild to me is above 50 and severe is below 40. #dsma |
| Brenda Bell @tmana Q3. Most of what I'm dealing with is technically "mild". The Other Half calls "low" 100. I call it 80, unless I'm b****y #dsma |
| Chris Stocker @LifeofaDiabetic Anything below 80 I'll grab a snack, nothing heavy. Anything below 150 before gym I drink Gatorade before #DSMA |
| Lesley Kimball @poeticlibrarian Q3 Mild = 55 - 75, Severe = <55 But, I have felt worse at 72 than at 48. Numbers on our devices aren't exact #dsma |
| Janis N. Senungetuk @JanJava A2+ 40 bg or under I need help from someone, loose muscle control #dsma |
| Gary Rind @garyrind @DiabetesSocMed Q2 below 60 = F*ck! below 40 = oh f*ck! only been under 40 2x in 14 years #DSMA |
| A Diabetic Comic✊🏾 @ChelcieRice Q3 Mild 90-80 because lately I can still function. 60-50 is severe because of how I feel #dsma |
| Brenda Bell @tmana Q3. Doc initially suggested that if I dropped below 50, I'd die. (Go figure) #dsma |
| Candy Parker @candyp4 Mild would be around 50 for me. Severe is below 40. #dsma https://t.co/BI95Z4Mmfr |
| Stacey Simms @staceysimms @AmandaJoCountry @Pancreassassin No clock punching here! Glad you both made it!! #dsma |
| StephenS @StephenSType1 Q3. Mild hypoglycemia (to me)? About 75 mg/dL. Severe? 50 mg/dL or below #dsma |
| Heather R. Walker, Ph.D. @Heather_RoseW Q3. Mild hypoglycemia looks like me helping myself, severe hypoglycemia looks like me needing someone to help me help myself #dsma |
| StephenS @StephenSType1 Me too RT @staceysimms: @AmandaJoCountry @Pancreassassin No clock punching here! Glad you both made it!! #dsma |
 | DiabetesMine @DiabetesMine RT @candyp4: Mild would be around 50 for me. Severe is below 40. #dsma https://t.co/BI95Z4Mmfr |

| StephenS @StephenSType1 RT @HeatherGabel: Q3. Mild hypoglycemia looks like me helping myself, severe hypoglycemia looks like me needing someone to help me help myself #dsma |
| Juvenile Johnny @T1DJohnny I call it low when it's 50 or less. Above that, I just call it workable. #dsma |
| Brenda Bell @tmana @T2DRemission Metformin doesn't cause hypos the way sulfonylureas and other classes of T2 drugs can #dsma |
| Gary Rind @garyrind @DiabetesSocMed Q3 mild = above 60 #DSMA |
| Arden's Day T1D @ArdensDay Q3 Mild is when Arden is unfazed or her life is unfettered. Severe is when she gets that look on her face that breaks my heart. #dsma |
| Mindy Bartleson (she/her) @mindy_bartleson RT @DiabetesSocMed: Q3. What do you consider to be mild hypoglycemia? Severe? #dsma |
| Juvenile Johnny @T1DJohnny Q2. Under 50 is problematic. #dsma |
| Amanda Jo @AmandaJoCountry Mild is 50-70. Anything lower and "I'm dying" lol 😂 #DSMA |
| Stacey Simms @staceysimms Q3: mild would be a low number. Severe would be functional impairment. B has been walking & talking at 23. #dsma |
| Chris Stocker @LifeofaDiabetic Here's another secret. When I'm low, I don't test, I just start drinking or Skittle-ing. Which is why I overtreat everytime #DSMA |
| Jenn C @JennMamaBear @HeatherGabel *knocks on wood* I've never needed help with a low, but a 27 a couple years ago kicked my ass pretty hard. #dsma |
| Lesley Kimball @poeticlibrarian Yes, exactly RT @HeatherGabel: Q3. Mild hypoglycemia looks like me helping myself, severe hypoglycemia looks like me needing someone #dsma |
| Mike Barry 💉 @mikebarry44 Q3 every hypoglycemia is the same, evaluate and treat. Highs are dicier, #baggage #AnnaKarenina #DSMA |
 | Chris @A321Chris @DiabetesSocMed Action: ok what do I have to eat, no what do I want, no what do I need, damit man just eat something NOW! #DSMA |
| Pancreassassin @Pancreassassin My "severe" hypoglycemia is under 40, or anything that lasts over an hour. #dsma |
| Janis N. Senungetuk @JanJava A3.Mild is 65 to 55, severe is 40 or below #dsma |
| Mindy Bartleson (she/her) @mindy_bartleson A3: for mild or severe- it's not necessarily the number for me but how I feel. If I feel like crap, I consider that severe. #DSMA |
 | Bad Samaritan @badsamaritan121 @DiabetesSocMed Q1 Depends if I'm having a busy day or I get unexpectedly active #dsma |
| Stacey Simms @staceysimms Q3: But, that's a person with attentive caregivers. He might give you a different answer. I can tell you I RAN for that juice!! #dsma |
| StephenS @StephenSType1 RT @badsamaritan121: @DiabetesSocMed Q1 Depends if I'm having a busy day or I get unexpectedly active #dsma |
| Juvenile Johnny @T1DJohnny Q3. For me, a mild low is 60. 45 or less is severe. #dsma |
| Emilie T @SweetHiyachica Q3. Mild: < 80 dropping gradually. Severe: < 70 dropping like a stone. With gastroparesis can't wait to treat--stomach might be slow. #dsma |
| StephenS @StephenSType1 RT @mindy_bartleson: A3: A3: for mild or severe- it's not necessarily the number for me but how I feel. If I feel like crap, I consider that severe. #DSMA |
| Mike Hoskins @MHoskins2179 Q3. My hypo symptoms often change, not the same each time. And hypo unaware at key times. Mostly <55 is severe, but often can't feel #DSMA |
| Gary Rind @garyrind @DiabetesSocMed Q3 Severe = below 50 #DSMA |
| Heather R. Walker, Ph.D. @Heather_RoseW Q3. Severe hypoglycemia is when fear gets in as a symptom. It's when I start considering the idea that "I might not be okay" #dsma |
| Arden's Day T1D @ArdensDay When you can bolus for an ‘eat the kitchen’ event… then you are truly a zen ninja. #hypo #dsma |
| Mike Barry 💉 @mikebarry44 Q3b both depend on the angle. Every time I hit ~180, I reach for my syringe. #greatveins #DSMA |
| Chris @A321Chris @DiabetesSocMed It's always there, lurking in the background #DSMA |
| Bad Samaritan @badsamaritan121 @DiabetesSocMed Q2 I call it 'Oh, shit' time cuz that's usually my response when I check and it's that low 😊 #dsma |
| Gautam Narang @hylozoists @DiabetesSocMed 70 is mild, lower than this is severe. #dsma |
| Diabetes Social Media Advocacy @DiabetesSocMed Q4. How scared are you of hypoglycemia on a scale of 1-10? #dsma |

| Heather R. Walker, Ph.D. @Heather_RoseW #truth @KarenBittrSweet #dsma |
| cynthia rogers-celt @CynthiaCelt Q2. blood sugar of 60...I call "Chance to scarf a couple skittles." A test that pops a 40, "crap, where am I? I have diabetes?" #dsma |

| StephenS @StephenSType1 RT @DiabetesSocMed: Q4. How scared are you of hypoglycemia on a scale of 1-10? #dsma |
| Pancreassassin @Pancreassassin 4. We're close friends. I'm not super scared of hypoglycemia. Maybe a 2. I've only had a few "bad" episodes though. #dsma |
| Chris @A321Chris @DiabetesSocMed Mild; 60's Severe; <40 #DSMA |
| Mike Hoskins @MHoskins2179 Don't think clearly when Low. Mentally, I want to just eat everything to feel better. Which leads to Highs. #DSMA #BeyondA1C |
| Mike Barry 💉 @mikebarry44 @ArdensDay I figure how many carbs get me to 70 and then bolus for the other 3/4 bag of the "family size" chips. #DSMA #notadoctor #stickofbeemans |
| Mindy Bartleson (she/her) @mindy_bartleson @DiabetesSocMed Is 1 least and 10 most? #dsma |
| Brenda Bell @tmana Q4. Depends. For me, right now, 1 - maybe. For The Other Half, 3? #dsma |
| Candy Parker @candyp4 10 since I have no symptoms. #dsma https://t.co/0KsEmvOOze |

| kelly close @kellyclose RT @DiabetesSocMed: Q1. How many times per day do you think about hypoglycemia? #dsma |
| Janis N. Senungetuk @JanJava A4.Scared? depends on where I am & if I'm alone. I get concerned if I'm alone & my bg is slow to respond. #dsma |

| kelly close @kellyclose RT @badsamaritan121: @DiabetesSocMed Q3. Mild is under 100, severe is about 65 #dsma |
| Renza / Diabetogenic @RenzaS @DiabetesSocMed It depends how many lows I'm having. If I've been mostly low-free, or only mild lows, I'm not too scared. After a nasty low: 10.. #DSMA |
| StephenS @StephenSType1 RT @AmandaJoCountry: Q4: Q4: 2. I use to be a lot more afraid of them till Dexcom came along #grateful #DSMA |

| Heather R. Walker, Ph.D. @Heather_RoseW Q4. I was more afraid before pregnancy, I'd call it a 9. Now, after having 3-5 lows per day for five months, I'm less so. Maybe a 6. #dsma |
| Arden's Day T1D @ArdensDay Q4. I’m not afraid of diabetes. I am respectful of insulin but not afraid. I won’t live like that. I won’t teach my daughter fear. #dsma |

| Jenn C @JennMamaBear @KarenBittrSweet YES!! I keep you on speed-text. *wink wink* #dsma |
| cynthia rogers-celt @CynthiaCelt Q4. Hypoglycemia Fear Factor Richter scale= 3-4? but is so situational in my mind (in the mtns V. safe and comfy on the couch) #dsma |
| Renza / Diabetogenic @RenzaS Overall, I think I'm less afraid because I wear Dex full time and trust it. My anxiety & fear increases when I'm not wearing it. #DSMA |
| Diabetes Social Media Advocacy @DiabetesSocMed We are going to switch gears. The next few questions might be uncomfortable. If you do not want to share- you do not have to. #dsma |

| Diabetes Social Media Advocacy @DiabetesSocMed Q5. When was your worst hypoglycemic event and what happened? #dsma |
| kelly close @kellyclose @DiabetesSocMed It's not even really a number… How's scared am I of hypo? Answer is really "always," which I guess is a 10+ times a google? #dsma |
| cynthia rogers-celt @CynthiaCelt @mikebarry44 @KarenBittrSweet Next week's #dsma topic |
| Pancreassassin @Pancreassassin 5. Worst in recent memory, I had to ask a stranger to operate a vending machine for me. #dsma |

| Pancreassassin @Pancreassassin 5. Possibly having to have a mini glucagon dose at camp. #dsma |
| Mindy Bartleson (she/her) @mindy_bartleson A4: honestly- 2. My OCD focuses on the high. And that's when my anxiety symptoms really come into play. #DSMA |

| Heather R. Walker, Ph.D. @Heather_RoseW Q4. Hypoglycemia is a reminder of my mortality. Every severe low reminds me my body is temporal. Can be tough psychologically #dsma |

| Brenda Bell @tmana Q6. As far as a first "real" hypo... don't think I saw it as anything more than a new/learning experience #dsma |
| Mindy Bartleson (she/her) @mindy_bartleson For me. It's not that I'm not comfortable. But I believe a1c doesn't tell the whole story. & I work with teens. #dsma #YDMV https://t.co/7LVWwIIGIs |

| Mike Barry 💉 @mikebarry44 Q6 first hypo I lit ice cream carton on fire defrosting it outside in (with broiler) instead of inside out (microwave). Now = calmer. #DSMA |
| Janis N. Senungetuk @JanJava A6.My first was in 1955, terrified my Mom who poured orange juice down me. Had lots of lows while pregnant in 1970, drank lots of Coke #dsma |
| Chris Stocker @LifeofaDiabetic @StephenSType1 Those are my favorite lows, less insulin I have to take with dinner then #DSMA unless it's too early before dinner and have to treat |
| StephenS @StephenSType1 @RenzaS Wow, I didn't know you could remain conscious at 2... #dsma |
| Juvenile Johnny @T1DJohnny Q6. When I was diagnosed, there was no such thing as a CGM. It's truly changed/saved my life. I'm blessed & fortunate to have one. #dsma |
| A Diabetic Comic✊🏾 @ChelcieRice Q6 My last low wasn't so bad but I had one a month ago that left me feeling like i had fallen off a cliff #dsma |
| Chris Stocker @LifeofaDiabetic My A1C is not even discussed at endo appt. She simply circles it and says "you know where to find it if you want to see it" #DSMA https://t.co/GpDzPURqAr |
| Renza / Diabetogenic @RenzaS @StephenSType1 2mmol/l = 36 in your language... (Sorry - I just add confusion to #DSMA!) |
 | Kelsey Geller @kelseygeller How was I not following @SweeterCherise and #DSMA already?? |
| Arden's Day T1D @ArdensDay Q6. Lows way worse when a1c was 8 & 9. Didn’t know what I was doing. Now a1c is 5.6 but lows aren’t a surprise or that drastic #dsma |
| Mike Hoskins @MHoskins2179 I am more than a number. My life doesn't revolve around A1C. But I could die from a severe Low, or if BGs go too High. #dsma #BeyondA1C |

 | Melissa Lee ☮️⚛️ @sweetlyvoiced @MHoskins2179 Same here. Diagnosed at 10. I have no memory of my first low. I remember reading where we have 15,000 lows in a lifetime with T1D. #dsma |
| StephenS @StephenSType1 @DiabetesSocMed: Q7. Are you more scare of hypoglycemia now or when you were first diagnosed? #dsma |
 | Chris Memering @zsquaredmama Hello #dsma. Back to the #gradschool grind. Sorry I missed it, looks like it was some interesting sharing. |
| Mike Barry 💉 @mikebarry44 @StephenSType1 @RenzaS Single digits with UltraSmart meter! #DSMA #tripping |
| Brenda Bell @tmana I think that's Q7. And I think when I was dx'd, because current tx doesn't lead to hypos #dsma |
| Douglas @salguodmai A6 Day 1 of being a diabetic, I think it was caused from the insulin doing its job. no one told me about the lows WTF #dsma https://t.co/ih2Wk6TRpb |
| Marie Smith @CelloBard First hypo was in the middle of the night and I didn't know what was happening. I couldn't stop crying. I was really scared. #dsma |
| A Diabetic Comic✊🏾 @ChelcieRice Q6 Not so much scared but definitely concerned. The lows that wake you up at 3am are intense #dsma |
| Mx. Renegade is in GHOUL MODE 👻 @MxRenegade @DiabetesSocMed less scared now that I have a CGM-- also less guilty when I deal with highs. I was diagnosed 2003-- most of the emotions were learned. #DSMA |
| StephenS @StephenSType1 Q7. Definitely less aware now, but surprised that after 26 years, I'm still pretty aware. Whether I do something about it always...? #dsma |
| Bad Samaritan @badsamaritan121 @DiabetesSocMed Q6. Definitely now that I'm single and live alone #dsma |
| Melissa Lee ☮️⚛️ @sweetlyvoiced I LOVE love love this video called "The Deal with Lows" about how a hypo feels. https://t.co/K6s378O0lk #dsma |
| Chris @A321Chris @DiabetesSocMed Far more intense in the early days. Now I just acknowledge, treat and get on with my day. A1c?? #DSMA |
| Emilie T @SweetHiyachica Ad on TV just said, "Diabetes can be a daily struggle." LOL. Timing. #dsma |
| Gary Rind @garyrind @DiabetesSocMed Q6 definitely when first diagnosed! A1C was so high at dx that I was having a terrible low & my sugar was 80! guzzled can of soda! #DSMA |
| Candy Parker @candyp4 Now. I'm more aware of the results now than I've ever been before. #dsma https://t.co/IgTCwgdVLo |

| Mx. Renegade is in GHOUL MODE 👻 @MxRenegade @SweetHiyachica Talk about understatement #DSMA |
| Janis N. Senungetuk @JanJava A6. I'm the one in charge now, so I'm more concerned now with hypo unawareness. #dsma |
| Chris Stocker @LifeofaDiabetic Q7 when I was first dx'd. Something over 150 was unheard of for me, so I lived on the lower end, now, not so much. #dsma |
| Lesley Kimball @poeticlibrarian Q7. Now. At least on an intellectual level #dsma |
| Amanda Jo @AmandaJoCountry Q7: I was a lot more afraid right after I was dx'd Dexcom takes most of the fear away #DSMA |
| Mindy Bartleson (she/her) @mindy_bartleson A6: honestly. I've never been scared of them specifically. I get scared in the moment. Highs scare me more. #DSMA |
| Diabetes Social Media Advocacy @DiabetesSocMed RT @adiabeticabroad: |
| Mike Barry 💉 @mikebarry44 Q6 not scared. It's a hassle but I feel better dealing with BG snidely. #DSMA |
| Heather R. Walker, Ph.D. @Heather_RoseW Have to jump off early! Need a bath in so I can sleep with this baby movin' in my belly. Thanks @SweeterCherise good luck tomorrow! #dsma |
| Stacey Simms @staceysimms Q6: Definitely when B first dx'd. We went 7 years no cgm and I'm sure he had lots of lows we never knew about. Gives you perspective. #dsma |
| cynthia rogers-celt @CynthiaCelt @KarenBittrSweet Rdg and reflecting on hypoglycemia was such a reminder for me of what I need to NEVER underestimate. ❤😘#thanks everyone #dsma |
| Renza / Diabetogenic @RenzaS A6. Now. I understand it & have had some scary experiences. It was like a mythical unicorn when first diagnosed. And easier to treat. #DSMA |
| Juvenile Johnny @T1DJohnny Q6. I'm aware, but not scared of lows anymore. Studying symptoms & tech have truly helped. When I was 4, this tech was nowhere around. #dsma |
| Brenda Bell @tmana @T2DRemission FWIW, cardio depletes my carb reserve but doesn't drop me; weights don't use my carbs, but DO drop me. Go figure! #dsma |

| StephenS @StephenSType1 RT @DiabetesSocMed: Q7. How is your work (or school) impacted by hypoglycemia? How does it affect your child?#dsma |
| Brenda Bell @tmana @T2DRemission That's supposed to be a day or two later -- not while you're lifting! #dsma |
| Lesley Kimball @poeticlibrarian I do worry some about lasting effects of too many low bgs. Not sure if memory is worse just bcuz of aging, or also dead brain cells #dsma |
| Jenn C @JennMamaBear Q7: Working with numbers gets a little dicey when low, but otherwise work isn't effected. #dsma |
| Mx. Renegade is in GHOUL MODE 👻 @MxRenegade @DiabetesSocMed I'm getting ready to work in #schoollibraries and ppl have said I'm going to need to work with an assistant to accommodate my health #DSMA |
| Gary Rind @garyrind @DiabetesSocMed Q7 work at a desk so it really doesn't affect it much. no kiddos. #DSMA |
| Marie Smith @CelloBard I'm not afraid of hypos now because I have a diabetes alert dog. Noelle catches lows early. She can also detect a leaking pump set. #dsma |
| Brenda Bell @tmana Q8. Because I'm in retail, I don't usually have the option of checking when I think I'm low or taking time to treat... #dsma |
| Lesley Kimball @poeticlibrarian Q8. Irritates me when I have to interrupt work to treat low. Daughter doesn't like to be distracted either. Or be seen as different #dsma |
| Mike Barry 💉 @mikebarry44 Q7 work not at all, kid, not sure. She seems sharp. Maybe because or maybe just cool. Idk. #DSMA |
| Juvenile Johnny @T1DJohnny Q7. Not really. Only in rare occasions. I tend to over treat a low at work to make sure it doesn't drop again. 1/2 #dsma |
| Pancreassassin @Pancreassassin 7. I'm looking for work, and trying to hide visible diabetes (pump, CGM, etc). #dsma |

| StephenS @StephenSType1 Q7. The group I previously worked with was very affected by my lows. Their concern was lovely and frustrating at the same time #dsma |
| Janis N. Senungetuk @JanJava A7. Because my vision is effected by lows, and highs, I had to stop photoshoots or editing until bg is stable. #dsma |
| Stacey Simms @staceysimms Q7: Biggest problem is lack of sleep when BG is crap overnight. Hard on school, sports, etc #dsma |
| Mindy Bartleson (she/her) @mindy_bartleson A7: it just makes me a "mess". Hard to think straight. I also get extra chatty & don't want to sit still. #dsma |

| Chris Stocker @LifeofaDiabetic I've had lows in the middle of pitch meetings and I just pull out the OJ and keep going. If on phone, I ask a question then mute it #dsma |

| Arden's Day T1D @ArdensDay I think that it’s easier to stop a falling or low BG than it is to bring a high number down. #ComfyAt80 #dsma https://t.co/bIklgSQJhL |

| Juvenile Johnny @T1DJohnny Q8. Once or twice a week at most. I just look at the number in from of me & do the best that I can with that. #dsma |
| Marie Smith @CelloBard A8. I think about my A1c when my BG is high. I wish I could control things better. #dsma |

| Chris Stocker @LifeofaDiabetic I don't ever think about my A1C, never did. #dsma |

| Bad Samaritan @badsamaritan121 @DiabetesSocMed Q8. Honestly not at all. Until 1st labs after Christmas, cuz I love Xmas cookies like a fat kid loves cake 😊 #dsma |
| StephenS @StephenSType1 Q8. I don't think about A1c. Diabetes is a daily exercise. A1c is a rearview mirror look at my diabetes #dsma |

| Jenn C @JennMamaBear Q9: It's good to know, but not the most important. #dsma |
| Renza / Diabetogenic @RenzaS A8. Rarely. Unless there is an impending endo visit. But I think about time in range more because it's an indicator of how I feel. #DSMA |
