Honeymoon period??

Re: Honeymoon period??

The honeymoon period is when your pancreas is working intermitently and is a period where little or no insulin is required. So, when you say no sign of it do you mean you've been diagnosed T1 and on no meds or anything ? Not too sure what you mean ?
The honeymoon phase is generally soon after diagnosis and eventually leads to insulin dependancy. It can last from a few weeks to a year or so.

Not everyone gets a honeymoon period, mine kicked in properly after 4 - 6 weeks and I was able to reduce my insulin
 
Re: Honeymoon period??

It probably means you're producing some, but not enough. You'll probably find that over time, your readings will become more erratic and your insulin requirement will slowly increase. There are no rules though, as Hale says, some don't have a honeymoon period.

Hi. I think I might be in this honeymoon period now after about 4 weeks since diagnosis. I noticed my sugar keeps dropping a bit and I reduced both lantus and novorapid amount.

But Im not quite sure yet if I'm in this period or not, because I've also had this stomoch bug or cold and it might be delaying my digestion?!

But certainly I don't seem to need that much insulin now. Really weird and a bit annoying as I finally thought I had found my perfect ratio and diet...

Well, I suppose I just have to wait and see and keep testing my sugar level and fiddling with the insulin amount...
