Does anyone have experiences with hypos in honeymoon phase (conpletely without Insulin). Not very often but a few times in the last 3 months without Insulin as a Typ 1 I was having hypos down to 2.1,3.1. I have talked to my doctor but he couldn't explain my why I am having the hypos...

Are you eating enough food? If you're not taking insulin, reactive hypoglycemia would be very unusual at your age.
Yes I am eating regulary and balanced, carbs, vegetables, proteins, meat for most if the meals and rarely I am eating some sweets like chocolate. Usually 10-40 g carbs per meal. I have had days with higher BS but normaly there are reasons like going out, stress.. then i reduce the carbs a little for like a day and then the BS is back to 4.5-7.0 during the day.
Could you eat small snacks between meals? I used to have hypos before I was diagnosed and my consultant said it was a malfunction of my pancreas' insulin reaction.
If you're testing your blood sugar, you could eat a small amount before you drop right down maybe?

If you have not injected insulin manually and are having hypo's then it is my personal belief that your pancreas must still be producing insulin. I believe that it is only the effect of insulin counteracting glucose intake that causes the hypoglycaemic effect. Further to this if your pancreas is still functional in some form and you eventually start injecting insulin I think that this could prove a little bit dangerous.
Normally i eat an apple or a little snack ca.10 carbs. At 10 in the morning. And i mostly eat longlasting carbs.
The hypos or not that often and normaly I realise that my bloosugar is dropping so I eat something.
I am just a little bit confused because my BS was 44(800) at my diagnose and the doctor say clearly I am Diabetic. But I still hope that there is a cure and I don't need to start injecting again.
Thanks for your advice @LucySW
