Help.... Honeymoon periods

[CocoBware]

Hi All,

New to this.... So any help or advice is appreciated,

I was diagnosed with type 1 daibetes when i was 27 (im now 30) After intial diagnoses i was taking regular standard basul insulin and food insulin as standard. But was around 10units in morning then 6-8 units after each meal.... After around 3 months of this i started hypo-ing alot and reduced my intake.... this kept continuing until around 6 months and i was taking minimum insulin... Until my specialist told me to come off insulin, and accept the 'honeymoon phase' Im still on said 'honeymoon phase" "

I need help as i continue to mange my diabetes always checking my blood sugar etc... And all readings are normal but i continue to feel unwell ( All kinds of symptons from feeling dizzy - pains in chest etc) Doctors and specialists cannot give me any answers and cant explain a thing to me. Tested me for all sorts and keep coming up blank.

My diet could be better - I do just avoid sugar but eat and drink anything else i want, But as i say no real impact on my sugars....

Has Anyone experienced a honey moon period for aslong?

Thanks

That's a legendary honeymoon period and having no insulin at all exceeds what's expected in a Type 1 diabetic even in a honeymoon period. It may be that you were misdiagnosed and you are a Type 2. If you are not obese there is a tendency to misdiagnose Type 2s, especially as late onset Type 1 is increasingly common.
