[QUOTE="Celsus, post: 1581466, member: 185674"] Who wouldn't want the honeymoon to last forever? [emoji3] OK, some would maybe want to change the spouse out through the years. But the mgt of the diabetes monster, it's definitely better for as long as it lasts, as it means that your own body/beta cells are still alive and contributing to keep the bg within reason. Especially so if you are on a low carb diet. The length of the honeymoon depends on how quick your immune system kill off the beta cells, so a very individual thing. Some 20-30% do actually not have any at all. Most often it's some weeks to a few months long. A few up to a year or so. But very very rarely you have cases going beyond 1 year of honeymoon duration. As new to diabetes there are already many new complex things to get into, so it actually doesn't make it any easier as the output of your beta cells may fluctuate from day to day during the honeymoon. But as all honeymoons it comes to an end. So enjoy it as long as it lasts! [emoji3] [/QUOTE]
