[QUOTE="TypeZero., post: 2284067, member: 525950"] They told me themselves that I’m on my honeymoon but I’m pretty sure they’re wrong. My C peptide was 113 pmol/L when first diagnosed. It looks like I am producing some insulin but not enough to make any difference in my life, I’m making barely enough insulin to cover like 40-50% of my basal. There’s no effect on my mealtime boluses either, I use a 1:10 ratio for all meals and they work perfectly. Sadly my pancreas is not helping me at all apart from covering a part of my basal. My GAD antibodies were quite high at 713 units/mL which I suppose is not allowing my pancreas to recover. Yeah I do understand that 70 times a day is quite a lot but he was looking at the data from my 2nd sensor and you know when you get something new you try it out I think that’s what happened to me. First sensor 93 scans a day, 2nd sensor 70 scans a day, 3rd sensor 40 scans a day and so on. It’s good to have a consultant/endo but I feel like I’ve already run out of things to say in one appointment. I have an appointment practically every month maybe twice a month with different people like dietitian, nurse and consultant. I don’t know if that is the norm or if it’s because I’m newly diagnosed. I feel like I don’t need anymore help from medics apart from maybe a DAFNE course and treatment options such as a pump. [/QUOTE]
