Honeymoon Period Ending?

[hale710]

Success!! 8.2 when I got up at 5.44 am and now 7.1 30 mins before I go eat lunch. I went for 2.5 units for 35g, ill do the same tomorrow and Saturday to check the ratio. It makes it 0.5 unit per 7g which will be a bit fiddly.

I also had a 3g carb snack around 10am but I don't think that's had any effect.

I have been diagnosed for a year now (type 1) and I think my honeymoon period is finally over, my bg readings are down from an average 13 mmol to 6 mmol over the last four weeks. Hba1c done today at the diabetes clinic and it was 5.8% im 14th on the daphne course and will be on it by November next year (no rush there then lol) still some good news at least :grin:

I thought that when the honeymoon period was ending, your blood sugars would begin to rise rather than come down ? That's what my nurse told me to expect ! Gradually having to inject more insulin to keep within target levels ! Anyone else told same/different ?

I'm the same as you mo, my BG values are going up so it could be ending. Spoke to DSN today and she said honeymoon can sort of dip in and out, might look like its ending then will spring back again. So who knows!

Hi hale

I noticed you are in Scotland. Me too :smile:. How did you get booked on the Dafne course? It is something I really want to do. Have to confess I haven't spoken to my DSN for about 2 months now :shock:. The last tine I phoned they said I was doing fine, and to be honest I didn't find them a massive amount of help after initial diagnosis and my readings have been pretty stable so I didn't see the point in phoning. However seeing as I was diagnosed a little before you and you are coming out of the honeymoon phase I should probably get back in the loop to be on the safe side.

Woohoo someone else in Scotland! I had an appointment with the dietician who mentioned DAFNE, then I discussed it with my consultant who pushed for me to get an early place. I spoke to my DSN for the first time today in about 5 weeks.

After nearly 18 months post diagnosis my Levemir and Novarapid have nearly doubled, but I'm prone to hypos as BG is just not predictable. I've gone from 15 to 30 units Levemir a day, and have increased Novarapid by about 70%, but also have more corrective doses on a regular basis. It's been a nightmare couple of months. Any advice guys?
