NEW QUESTION for JANUARY:

diabetes trivia question

In a soon-to-be released report from the T1D Exchange, it was discovered that approximately 60% of people with type-1 diabetes never download and look at their own meter/pump/CGM data, and only about 25% do so more than once a year.

What is the most common reason cited by survey respondents for not downloading their devices?
