Message: <blockquote data-quote="tomrose" data-source="post: 1858775" data-attributes="member: 488134">Hi all,I was diagnosed with type 1 at the start of the July and have since been slowly reducing my insulin down and down and down…After my first couple of hypos last week I am now not taking any novarapid with meals and only 2 units of Levemir when I wake up and 2 when I go to bed. So a total of 4 units each day. My levels are pretty stable at the moment (between 4-8) and I exercise regularly. I do notice spikes depending on what I eat.My queries are related to this honeymoon phase…At the moment I am eating pretty much whatever I feel like, excluding really high sugar items like sweets, coke etc. Does anyone know if what I eat will affect how long this honeymoon phase will last…? Should I be watching the amount of carbs I eat, or just making the most of eating whatever I like without thinking about it while my pancreas can still kick out a good amount of insulin?I also exercise regularly and I have read somewhere that frequent exercise can prolong the honeymoon period. Has anyone had experience of this or know if it’s true?Hope you can help and I look forward to “meeting” some of you!</blockquote>
