We earned 610k euros from UEFA, and also money from tickets (about 20.000 fans today) and we excpect more against Standard, and...

    Apparently I'm on my "honeymoon"?

    I was in honeymoon for more then 7 months and i was without any insulin in that time. You should be lucky because not everyone have that chance and as long as it lasts enjoy everyday. Your sugars will be more stable and if you come off insulin there are no needles which was really important for...

    I take 16 units of Lantus daily (in the morning) and my ratio is about 1:15 but recently i don't bolus for half of my meals because i do many sports and if i take any insulin i go low really fast, so my ratio is maybe even higher

    Going on about diabetes too much

    I am not quite religious, but I live in country where Muslims are majority and most of them don't fast during Ramadan because everything that is harmful to your body and health is "haraam" and it's forbidden. Now on topic. I don't really like to speak about diabetes with my friends, even my...

    Alcohol

    For me the hardest thing about diabetes is controlling blood sugars while drinking alcohol. When you drink it, the alcohol can inhibit the liver’s ability to release glucose into the blood so that's why is alcohol so dangerous. I usually drink beer and i bolus for it, because my sugars are...

    Honeymoon period

    I had it for almost 7 months, and I am sure that I still produce some insulin, but had to start with pens. My morning readings started to rise over time, and when they were over 10 constantly I started first with basal (Lantus) and few days after with fast-acting (Apidra). Be careful when...

    Alternative treatments for Type 1 Diabetes

    I will say again, I think it's honeymoon period. It came shortly after you were diagnosed and it stopped after a while. It is very possible that your pancreas started to produce some insulin again and maybe it happened at same time you started with that treatment, and after your honeymoon...

    Alternative treatments for Type 1 Diabetes

    I really don't believe in any alternative treatments, and that sounds to me like honeymoon period. Have you talked with your doctor or medical team about it ? And does it still work or your insulin doses have increased ?
