[QUOTE="EllieM, post: 2515193, member: 372717"] Welcome to the forums. Logically (disclaimer, I'm not a doctor, this is not medical advice) there's no reason why she can't be in the honeymoon period (still produces some insulin) but needs less insulin when she's very active. Plenty of adult T1s find they need less insulin when they are active, and learn to adjust their basal and bolus accordingly. Is she on a basal/bolus regime? I would have thought she would be an ideal candidate for a pump, bur they often like people to learn how to use basal/bolus first. What's her slow acting insulin and when is she taking it? To be honest, 6 weeks in you are very much in a learning process, but if you keep good food and exercise logs it should hopefully be possible to get it sorted sooner rather than later. In your position I would definitely ask about a pump. It's excellent that your daughter is so active. [/QUOTE]
