So I just wing it based on experience.You'll build up the experience as you go, and you'll learn by doing.For me, there was nothing magical or sudden about the honeymoon ending, it was only after about a year of mainly the same insulin needs that I decided that mine was probably over. The only C-peptide test I had was part of my diagnosing process, once diagnosed as T1 and on insulin it doesn't matter much if and how much insulin you produce, you adjust your insulin to your needs anyway.</blockquote>
