Hi,
I'm a new type 1 diabetic and I'm 17. I've heard people talking about the "honeymoon phase" and I think I understand why it would happen, but when would it start after being diagnosed/using insulin?
My glucose levels still haven't settled down (reading between 15-20 since coming out of hospital, yes I've seen a doctor who told me it's fine for the moment) and I was wondering if I'll even get this honeymoon phase?
I should add that I wasn't diagnosed until about a month after showing signs of DKA, so that may have an affect on my levels not returning to normal so easily.
Really, I'm just brand new to all of this, and feeling overwhelmed, so I will take on board any advice and help you can give
