No arguments here, just friendly debatesorry to cause any arguments here. Regarding taking my insulin, I am now that I am able to eat, but at a reduced dose (1:1 rather than 1:1.5). I am pretty much back at my normal diet, but again, my blood readings are extremely stable and havent budged from 6.0 to 7.0 all day, even after a bottle of locozade (the sport one with the electrolytes as i'm still recovering) and some digestives. I had a sandwich at lunch, and with my normal novarapid dose I would go to 9, then a gradual decrease to 4-5 but my blood hasnt budged and has stayed within the 6.0 to 7.0 range.
I've even tested my meter, and that is working fine according to the control solution instructions.

Once you've contributed a little more than a handful of posts to the forum; and have received multiple instances of positive feedback from our members - then I guess you can tell me to "investigate what happens in my body more".
Have a nice weekend,

It's not about chasing popularity @alhubb, but typically if a post has weight to it - it tends to get backed up by other forum members, one way or the other. If you were to read back through any of my posts, you can see popularity is something I am in no way concerned aboutWhat has that got to do with anything? I'm not sure how many posts I put on a diabetes forum has anything to do with my knowledge of science or biology. But it clearly shows your level of knowledge about the subject as you base your information on the number of "likes" and posts on the internet.
After that comment, I really am not going to debate this with you anymore.
I've recently suffered a spell of norovirus which hit me particularly hard. I'm a T1 coming up to 3-4 years with good control (average HBA1C around 40) and to make sure I didn't crash blood sugar wise (I almost went into hypo coma last time I had food poisoining) I decided not to take either insulin as I wasnt able to eat anything, and for the last 4 days, including the time I was ill, my blood sugar has remained steadfast in the 5-8 range even when I have been able to eat/drink.
Obviously, people with T1D don't get better. There isn't a cure. I know that.
I've always suspected I've been able to produce some insulin (hence my low HBA1C) which helps my control, but surely if I wasn't eating/drinking anything, my blood sugar would have dropped, and when I do eat, it should have risen without insulin.
Could it be something related to my immune system being 'distracted' from attacking the islet cells by the norovirus? Has anyone else had something like this?

Good luck with the ol' science and biology!
