Good afternoon everyone! My name is Sam.
around 3 months ago I was diagnosed with type 1 after being treated in hospital for DKA! I didn’t know I was diabetic until around 1/2 weeks before going in to hosptial where I started with symptoms of diabetes. when admitted my BG was 29 and ketones 5.8 after 6 days I was discharged and given novamix 30.
for a start I couldn’t get my BG below 15-19
then it started slowly coming down.
I was then put on long lasting levemir to take at night time and Fiasp for with my meals and started carb counting, during the last week my blood sugar has been between 4.8-6 and I started to notice that every time I took insulin it took me low so I was then eating more to bring it back up, so the past 2 days Iv not took any insulin at all and my blood sugar has stayed between 4.8-6.8 without insulin, do you think this is to do with the ‘honeymoon period’? Can you also not be a diabetic even after a diagnosis?
Don’t want any of that to sound stupid!!!
Cheers!
Sam
