Hey Nicki92, Most Honeymoons will start between the 3 and 6 month mark, once we start injectable insulin. If after a year, you don't need to decrease the amount of insulin you require, then it's extremely unlikely you will get a honeymoon, although not impossible. If you get 1 Honeymoon, you...

Ahh Tough One! From a scientific guess, I am going with the Coxsackievirus. This seems to be the one that is backed up with the most data. But still nowhere near enough! Personally, I believe a major Trauma / Stress Event caused it. Other notable mentions from me is Kenalog (...

Hello Kvetiny, One thing I want to note, is that Antidepressants tablets do play a role to some of us in changing diabetes management and blood sugar levels 100%. Not to all of us, in fact, it will be a small percentage but it does! The difficult thing is depending on which emotion the...

The 3 month period of Insulin, had given my remaining BETA Cells some much needed rest and regeneration. They then decided to start working and contribute to 1 or 2 hypos everyday whilst on levemir which resulted in severe Anxiety lasting several months sadly. I don't think I was ever bothered...

Hello Lisa, I was diagnosed in April 2020 in hospital. They put me on insulin as a precaution for Type 1 diabetes, whilst we awaited blood results. Young doctor at the time I remember saying, that I was more than likely Type 1. Blood sugars were between 26 and 33. HBA1C was 13.6% or something...

Spoke to the professor leading this at the end of April. ( Prof Andrew Stewart ) They are still accumulating data and information from their animal studies as things stand, but are planning their human trials shortly. So, fingers crossed!

Hey Halph, Welcome to the forums buddy. My diagnosis came in April 2020 and like you, was a complete shock to the system. I played football and worked out regularly, but was desperate at the time for a type 2 diagnosis, even though every person at the hospital was adamant I was type 1...

Hey all, Hope everyone is keeping well. Noticed a lot of us, including me, have issues now and again with insulin. Does anybody know of any further improvement with what we currently have? Not saying it's no good, because it's life saving for all of us, but I am reading blogs on " Smart...

You Legend! I have just had mine arrive today. I am coming out of my honeymoon now ( 8 months off insulin!! ) and will need to start back on Levemir on ASAP. I feel a lot more at ease and confident with doing this now, as I can follow patterns and understand how much natural insulin I have...

Hello, I had a reoccurring mouth infection that was on and off, every month starting around 6 months before diagnosis. Not sure if this was linked, as we still don't know the " Real " cause sadly. One interesting question I would always ask people, is whether they went through a traumatic...

Hello pm133, This is great news, but staggering, how many of us have come off insulin completely, during alot of recent type 1 diagnosis's. I have some responses to your questions and also similar experiences. 1) Is it normal for the Honeymoon Period to require no insulin at all? Yes. Many...

Hi Gremzi, Take a moment to breath and relax. Life is good, once all of this is under control and you can carry on with your normal everyday life. I am quite concerned that you have been given Metformin, if this is Type 1 / LADA. I was diagnosed last year in April and was put straight onto...

Love This Grant! I know there are loads of you with this sort of benchmark and even further. Hats off to you all.

Hey Julie, Gutted to read this, followed by your struggle with anxiety. Based on your brief information here, I would say that your anxiety has been built up, from anger ( Anxiety is the end result of this very emotion ). It's hard to see the connection first and people always assume that it...

Morning mate, I would guess, that you tested positive for 2 or more antibodies when they took your bloods a few months ago. The most common is Anti-GAD mixed with either IA-2, Zinc and a few more. Mine were GAD and IA2. Recently, I only had GAD antibodies in November, but my IA-2 came back...

Hello Sam, Story sounds very very familiar buddy. I think, you are experiencing a more extreme partial remission period right now, but sadly it's only temporary. After a few months of Insulin giving your remaining Beta Cells some rest, they have now started to kick into gear again. This can...

Hey Nikki, Just a message to say, that life gets so much better and easier from now. I was diagnosed back in April 2020 and I was absolutely devastated to the core, just like you. The initial shock of it all, will get easier for you, trust me. I am assuming they took some blood from you...

The Goods news, is that there is currently a race, to try and find the right remedy / formula, that's as strong as it's ever been from top professors all over the world. Stem cells, Beta Cell Regeneration, Immunotherapy, there are countless routes and methods to curing this for us. The main...

Hello Amy, Hope you are well. I am also in a honeymoon phase. I have been off insulin for over 5 weeks now and It's been awesome! From April 20th to Late July, I was injecting and then started noticing mini changes, in which I started turning my doses down. By early August, I was off...

Hey Amy, Hope you are well. I am like you, I was diagnosed in April of this year. I was waiting a good month for my Antibody results, but we assumed I was Type 1 from the get go. My Results were GAD Antibodies 226 and IA2 28. I am currently 4 months into type 1 next Thursday and just entered...
