[QUOTE="urbanracer, post: 2374857, member: 140811"] Hi [USER=539614]@MamaIzzy[/USER] and welcome to the forums. We are all different and it can sometimes take a while to stabilise. I was diagnosed late in life and it took me about 12 weeks. There is some evidence to suggest that rapid reductions in average glucose levels may be detrimental to eyesight, so don't be tempted to rush it, you'll get there. When a person starts taking insulin, it can give the pancreas a bit of a rest, it might start squirting out some insulin of its own and this can make management of glucose levels more challenging. This is often referred to as the Honeymoon Period. She is unlikely to come to any harm during this period. The optimum time between injecting and eating varies from person to person, where on the body you inject, the insulin being used and possibly even the type of food being consumed. You can only find out how your daughter's body reacts by testing. [/QUOTE]
