When people came to the end of their honeymoon period presumably this was based on a higher fasting sugar level. For someone who may be at the end of a honeymoon period what would a typical fasting blood sugar level be?

My understanding is that it's kind of the other way around. People realized they were no longer in the honeymoon period when it took more insulin to maintain their blood sugar levels.
I don't think there's a "typical" answer with respect to blood sugar.
Are you having to increase your insulin doses to keep things in check?

For me, I knew I was finishing my honeymoon period because I was getting too high after eating. I would be up in the 14 or 15s after breakfast. So I was having to inject more with my meals to keep them in the target guidelines. 
That's not particularly high for a t1 to wake up!

I think mine is finishing...my bloods have crept back up to 8's, 9's and a 15.3 last night 
however, this has happened before, and I have just enjoyed a few weeks without fast acting insulin. There is no definitive bs reading, number or end date, just swings and roundabouts and going with the flow all the best x
