Only 6 weeks into diabetes so I know it could be the honeymoon period? I didn't take any insulin for a day with any meals and throughout the day my levels were consistently at around 5!! I had taken my long lasting the night before so obviously that was still in my system. I know this sounds a little like denial but the doctors were so quick to put me onto insulin and I just worry all the guess work and ratio estimating is causing more damage? I know you can't just get over type 1 diabetes but are there different levels to which people can have it? Can I get it under control now or is it I'll get it under control and then just expect it to all go wrong somewhere? My friend is type 1 and has been for a few years and says now his levels are rarely over 7 and he just carries on as normal only difference is he has his insulin and checks his levels! Can this be the case if I know my body?
