[QUOTE="phoenix, post: 643856, member: 12578"] In type 1, it is not unknown for the need for insulin to drop to zero in the honeymoon period. This can be of variable length [url]http://www.joslin.org/info/will_diabetes_go_away.html[/url] In T1 though almost all people seem to lose weight before diagnosis. They will normally test positive for antibodies (there are several) that attack the beta cells. There is at least one form of diabetes in which the absolute requirement for insulin varies. They don't have antibodies to their beta cells so there isn't the destruction of the cells which results in absolute insulin dependence. easy blog post on it [url]http://thegirlsguidetodiabetes.com/2010/12/05/ketosis-prone-type-2-diabetes-heard[/url] Medscape article [url]http://emedicine.medscape.com/article/2154252-overview[/url] Edit: just googled your original posts; you were apparently only diagnosed on the 20th August, that's a very short time so it you have T1 it is entirely plausible that you are in a normal honeymoon period.
