Message: <blockquote data-quote="CelalDari" data-source="post: 2270158">I am newly diagnosed T1 about 2 months since my diagnosis— still waiting on C-peptide!!! I was having frequent hypos (1-3 times a day) when I was on 16u of Lantus but reducing it down to 14u has dramatically reduced the number of hypos.My question is how will I know if I am in the honeymoon phase? I’ve heard contradicting stuff about the honeymoon period. Some people say it’s easier to control BG because your pancreas is still producing some insulin while others say it’s harder to control because it gives them frequent hypos. Also how common is the honeymoon period because I had diabetes symptoms for months and months but I guess I got used to frequent urination and thirst, never really had a dramatically increased appetite. I’m guessing I’ve probably had it for nearly a year. The strange thing is, around 2 years ago I lost a lot of weight 86kg to 70kg (-16) in a year without any dieting or exercise. For some time I gained a lot of it back to 83kg then afterwards it went down and down to 55kg. Could it be that I had T1D then it went into remission then started again? Seems unlikely. I know the honeymoon phase occurs because there’s less stress on the pancreas but it seems strange that I lost and gained weight so dramatically.My GAD antibodies came positive, Im not sure if that confirms my diagnosis or not because how comes I was losing weight, getting dehydrated for 10-11 months with probably sky high ketones yet I didn’t have severe DKA symptoms</blockquote>
