Hi all, hope everyone is well I started hearing on the forum and gossips of the honeymoon period. For example, bad stereotypes like 'he is in the honeymoon period so no wonder he has such good control' etc. type comments from DSNs and consultants too who say it may get harder (sorry guys) - not...

Hi guys, I did post a similar question 3-6 months ago. I'm doing well with insulin and time in range, but I have an awful time controlling my snappy moments. It's almost always when I go really high or low. I feel as though I am possessed by someone, next thing something is blurted out and it's...

Just wanted to ask as only 8 months into diagnosis (type 1 diabetes) with very good control in honeymoon period. I'm still adjusting things with insulin and exercise, went for a swim a coupe night ago and had pizza before, reduced by 1 unit but was physically tired from work already. I could...

Hi everyone, Diagnosed T1DM last summer around 7 months and getting used to everything. The thing I don't understand is, I'm very fortunate with DAWN settling with sugars as it was a pain for a long time. But I have noticed when waking up for work at 715-730ish, had a 7-8 hour sleep I'm very...

Hi guys, Been diagnosed 6 months now and things are getting a bit more stable on the whole with everything. I have good time in range and on the whole doing well so far. The only worry for the future is the diabetic nurse mentioned a few fat deposits in my belly already. I take real care to...

Newly diagnosed June this year type one diabetes. Been doing really well on the whole, usually 70-80% in range nowadays, so thought I'd have a snack Friday night. Usually I don't inject for snacks as still early on in honeymoon phase. I'd estimate I probably ate 30-40g carbs (30g crackers ...

Hi all, just wanted to ask what your experiences are around type 1 diabetes and relationships. Me and my girlfriend have gone through a hard time in the last year, her losing her dad last year. I supported her throughout, which had its ups and downs and was challenging at times. Fast forward to...

Hi guys, I'm in my honeymoon period and recently got my hands on an ECHO pen which has been great to give half unit doses where it is appropriate. The only issue is with giving bigger doses, I try to use a chart with holes in from DSN. When I inject I try to be straight into the skin and hold...

Hi all, My DSN is on holiday at the moment so just wanted some generic advice and ideas even though I know may not be able to get specialist advice on doses etc. I'm still in my honeymoon period (diagnosed end of June 2023) and on these insulins: Tresiba 1 unit morning Novorapid 1-2 units with...

Hi guys, Overall I'm doing well with a new T1DM diagnosis roughly 2 months ago, with ~70% time in range, I'm still in my honeymoon period where my body still has an amount of its own insulin and I only need either 1 or 2 units of novorapid for meals, using the Libre 2 sensor. The only issue I...

Hi all, I've been diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes for about a month, I've got used to daytime glucose readings and on the whole these are pretty good (~80% time in range). It is just the nighttime, I try to ensure it is above 8.0mmol/mol, may have a snack around 10-11pm just to last until 3/4am...

Hi there, I am a newly diagnosed type 1 diabetic, diagnosed early. Had hypos during the first few nights of starting on insulin on starting doses, then my sugar levels stabilised and were perfectly stable at night for 3-4 nights. From what I've read so far, this means the basal dose is perfect...

Hi guys, newly diagnosed T1DM at 29 years. Its my first post on here as I cannot find the information anywhere on online and understand it may be a bit subjective and differ from person to person. A bit of background, had COVID three times maybe had very mild symptoms of tiredness on and off...
