[QUOTE="becky.ford93, post: 1157098, member: 188162"] Back to the original question.... :P I very slowly came out of the honeymoon, and as I still take a very low dose of basal (5u/24hrs) I'm probably still honeymooning a bit myself, a year or so into diagnosis. When I was first diagnosed I was almost always in the teens for a couple weeks, then came right down. I had quite a few mild hypos, sometimes multiple a day at my worst, but never completely came off insulin. Over the space of around 8 months my meal time ratio gradually changed from 1:20g to 1:10g, I wouldn't say I was suddenly drastically high, I'd just notice that rather than being 4-6 before meals I was more in the 7-9 range. Everyone is different, but that's my experience of it. The best thing you can do is just keep good records and adjust with the help of your nurse if you start seeing trends :) [/QUOTE]
