For some this means they need very little insulin for a while after initial higher doses. It's called the honeymoon period, and for some it's a blessing, their pancreas helping them keep them more stable, while for others it's a pain in the backside because their pancreas just acts drunk.Apart from that, many of us don't have the same ratios throughout the day. Fot instance, I need significantly more insulin for the same food in the morning than in the evening.If you're newly diagnosed, they should be guiding you, preferably with a diabetic nurse on call, and having regular contact with them through phone or email.</blockquote>
