[QUOTE="Goma5, post: 2354361, member: 509410"] Obviously only your medical team can advise you but it does sound very similar to my honeymoon. I was fortunate in that my Mrs had seen some posters about the signs of diabetes in children, and when drinking back to back pints of water and weeing 5x in the night, she suggested i went to get checked, they picked it high BGs before any major complications. For me it was an initial diagnosis, straight onto insulin (long acting), and took a couple of weeks before i got a formal antibody test which confirmed the inevitable. My honeymoon has slowly tapered out rather than dropped off a cliff, and is still going to some degree. Supposedly maintaining good sugars during the honeymoon can help to prologue it, but I'm not sure whether there is much science behind that. What i would say, and not everyone would agree, is the honeymoon is a bit of a blessing, in that it makes it much easier to control your blood sugars (with your pancreas picking up a lot of the slack), so you can get used to carb counting and doses and general management of the condition, so if nothing else, enjoy your current situation and keep making healthy lifestyle choices.
