[QUOTE="KK123, post: 2413595, member: 451727"] Hi there, it is different for everyone of course but I think either of the things you mention can be a sign. Also I think it's when you gradually start to use more units of insulin for the same amount of carbs/meals and when your own insulin production gets lower (hard to establish that as they rarely do a C Peptide test after diagnosis). I am 3 years into a type 1 diagnosis and think that I am still in my honeymoon because I use 6 units of basal which has been the same all through and am on the same insulin/carb rate. If that amount was no longer keeping my fasting numbers in range and I had to up it as I went along, then again that *may* be a sign. The problem is it's all very unpredictable especially when you are at the start of it all, what spikes are you seeing and can you give us a typical days food & figures? That really helps us to tell you if we've experienced the same and what we did or didn't do. Overall a few days probably isn't a long enough pattern as you could easily be back to your current 'normal' next week! Speaking for myself, aiming [I]never [/I]to spike above 10 may be a good target but virtually impossible to achieve 100%. You made me smile with the term 'getting there' because honestly, it's a journey that you never get to the end of, glucose levels can be impacted by a multitude of things, exercise, weight, stress, doing the hoovering, argument with your partner, some woman at the bus stop being a pain, just about anything. x [/QUOTE]
