The stigma that comes with type 1, when some of my meds resolve in my mouth., change being made to my routine last minute and picking up sickness.
Hi all
I phoned my diabetes team yesterday to get advice due to a head cold and high blood sugar readings. During that call the nurse told me I no longer produce any of my own insulin as my pancreas is out of the honeymoon phase. After that call I felt sad but at the same time had an idea at the back of my head that this stage was coming. I’ve also been given a new ice and and an increased dose of Lantus

Hi, I’m curious how she knew. New blood test? How long from diagnosis to this step…? I suspect I’m still honeymooning as my level is quite tough to get right and seems to randomly hypo…
 
In fact, after the honeymoon, insulin doses stabilize and diabetes becomes easier to manage. But I understand your feelings, it's very sad to realize that a part of you has died.
