Never seen that info before. Thanks for that. So it seems that getting Type 1 at the age of 42 would suggest a possible longer Honeymoon Period. It seems then that i should still take at least my background insulin at a much lower dose.

I have been diagnosed since May last year, and it seems that this week, my Pancreas has decided to cope all by itself again. Not sure for how long or why. Seems to be no rhyme or reason to any of it. Sorry.

Readings have been before a meal and 2 hours after. Can the Honeymoon suddenly appear after so long? In the summer last year, I missed my insulin for a Day and went up to 17 after a few hours. My local doctors are useless, but have an appointment with Consultant next week, so will speak to him then.

I was diagnosed as Type 1 diabetic last May at the age of 42. Have been on Insulin since. Have had a few Hypos and few high spikes when getting insulin wrong (BS 14-17). My Averages have been 7.2 and 6.5. Earlier this week, after getting really frustrated with the whole injecting and testing...

Thanks for replies. Didn't realise you could split the slow acting. worth discussing with the Nurse. Carbs for breakfast are around 50g (rice crispies or weetabix) and lunch usually around the same (egg or chick sandwich with quavers). Note had a Hypo yet, lowest has been 4.1 so cant complain...

Recently diagnosed type 1 and have just changed from mixed insulin, to slow acting and fast acting. Not sure if my slow acting is lasting long enough as after breakfast and lunch my blood sugars go down without any fast acting insulin, but i need about 1.5/2 units of insulin per 10g of carbs...

Thanks for replies and looks like this forum will be a great help. Have an appointment at the diabetic clinic on wednesday so hopefully get some good advice. Have already been told to increase my insulin from 10 to 12 units following monitoring over the weekend. All ready discovered that a...

OK, an update. Went to the Doctors on Monday (who was pretty useless) He said, yes it sounds like diabetes, we will book you in for some blood tests (2 weeks time) and printed off some info from a website and sent me home!!!!!! Thursday night, started to feel really ill, checked blood sugar...

Thanks for the replies, Will let you know how i get on. Paul

Hi All, New to this forum and to Diabetes (possibly). I have been having what i thought where unrelated symptoms, until i explained them to my wife who works as Ambulance crew. She explained that it sounds like Diabetes. We have been checking my blood glucose levels for the last few days and it...
