I was hoping the community could tell me about some of their experiences of T1 during the honeymoon period. I've recently been diagnosed (Late June '22), and appear to be very much in the honeymoon phase - I'm presently injecting an average of 12 units as a daily total of basal and bolus insulin. Even then, it seems like I am constantly needing to feed the insulin I inject. I've raised this with my diabetes team, and they've suggested to decrease my dosing even further, to 4 units of basal insulin and a carb ratio of 1:60. I suppose, I'm just baffled that I am so sensitive to insulin right now and it's quite honestly the opposite of what I expected in the first days of diagnosis. It'd be comforting to hear this is entirely normal at this stage of my diagnosis!I'd love to hear other people's experiences during the honeymoon period.</blockquote>
