[QUOTE="ebony321, post: 175833, member: 17199"] Hi, as your newly diagnosed being between 7-9 is pretty good, so don't be too hard on yourself :) Alot of things can effect your BG readings, illness is definately one of them! the time of the month can also effect this, some women require more or less insulin at this time too. Personally i require less insulin. The honeymoon period usually happens a little after diagnosis and is where your pancreas when assisted with a little help from insulin injections decides to kick out a little more insulin by itself, which means you don't require much insulin to be injected as the pancreas can do some of the work itself like in someone without diabetes. It lasts for a different amount of time with everyone, and of course not everyone experiences it either. You should start to notice your insulin requirements rise when your 'honeymoon period' is over. Bad complications usually take years to set in, and with constant high BG's. However this certainly doesn't mean you shouldnt try and acheive good control as soon as you can :) which looks like your getting there already! [/QUOTE]
