[QUOTE="elaine77, post: 371777, member: 59930"] Hi Hale, I was diagnosed in December as type 1.5 due to having GAD65 antibodies. They wanted me to go onto insulin and I said no (my choice) and so now I've been told I'm in the honeymoon phase.... My levels are between 4 and 8 mmol almost all the time, fasting is the only one I can't control and is always between 7 and 8 mmol.... I read on a different forum someone who was still in a honeymoon phase 5 years after diagnosis so here's to wishful thinking. I'm really confused by it all though to be honest and feel like I have something constantly hanging over my head ready to strike! Not sure i would want a honeymoon phase AFTER going onto insulin though..... The pancreas is a rather funny thing isn't it! Diagnosed with GD in 2010, Completely disappeared postpartum. Re-diagnosed December 2012 with type 1.5 diabetes, age 26, BMI 23 currently controlled by only Metformin, 500mg twice a day. [/QUOTE]
