    Honeymoon ending?? Scared

    Hi everyone, So I'm currently honeymooning but recent bg levels are starting to change and I'm pretty sure I may be coming out of it. Nervous/scared of what's to come as I'm lucky enough to just be on 12U levemir before bed but I am preparing myself to introduce Novorapid soon. Also need my...

    Honeymoon period

    Hi I was diagnosed as honeymooning in March this year and am still there. Bloods are fine during the day with no insulin before meals. I just have levemir before bed but wake up slightly high first thing in the morning. I am finding the honeymoon period a strange one. I'm grateful for the...

    Hi! Recently diagnosed T1

    I've worked out how to follow people but yeah, not helpful if you don't get notifications about their posts! Tbh my bg levels aren't too bad. They are slightly high in the mornings before breakfast and I get random 10s and 11s but not very often. I know there is no point in carb counting yet...

    Hi! Recently diagnosed T1

    @catapillar thanks for your advice. It sounds like I must have done what you did with the injection because I had a lump of insulin under my skin. Yes I use 4mm needles and I change them every time. I must have just had bad luck. I do find in general that it's hit and miss whether the...

    Hi! Recently diagnosed T1

    Thanks very much @himtoo. I'm glad to have brought a smile to your face! Lol. Wow 43 years?? I was told by the team that I have days/weeks/months before my insulin stops producing. So to hear from you is great!

    Hi! Recently diagnosed T1

    Than Thanks Abbie for your advice. Oh great congratulations! Well if you have any questions about a diabetic birth then feel fee to ask too. I was very much looked after during birth . They don't want me to carb count for at least a year yet because my bloods aren't settled. Once they are...
