Frustrated

Hi there, I'm writing this without having read all the posts so I apologise if I am repeating what someone else has said.

I've been type 1 for 7 years now and still honey mooning. My carb insulin ratio goes from 1 - 1 to 1 - 9 over a few weeks. It's very frustrating and with such a major change in insulin requirements I find that I don't eat much while I'm working out what my body is doing. Hypo after hypo is no fun. That's not to say I deal with it the best way but I just wanted to let you know it's quite normal - as normal as diabetes can be of course - so don't feel you are alone. There's no time for the honey moon period to last. I remember not injecting anything but levimir for 8 months and as quick as my rapid acting insulin requirement stopped it started again. Absolutely crazy. In a way it would be nice to get out the honeymoon period to know where you are but having said that I don't think it works that way anyway.

I hope you figure out the change in requirements and continue to do what you're doing. It's a tough ride this diabetes marlarky but we all do well so don't be hard on yourself.
