Type 1 confussion

[Specsquee]

Recently diagnosed (little under 2 months). My levels have been stellar. Eatting properly, seeing a dietician for more food options and nutritional knowledge.

My issue is I operate and regulate on little to no insulin. I was perscribed Toujeo / Novopod (15U twice a day for Toujeo and 1U of Novopod). I have cut out Novopod completely... (causes me to hypo even if i underdose after i eat if im walking around), and the toujeo i take between 10-15 only once a day. Through all of this i am maintaining healthy levels....during the day between 100-140. I know of the honeymoon period but this seems ridiculous.

I was also diagnosed with anemia and an overactive thyroid and take medication for those. Can someone help me make sense of all this?

As you've already identified it's all down to the Honeymoon Period @Specsquee

Mine was so long ago, but do remember starting on insulin then having to decrease the dosage by quite a bit then steadily increasing it over time.

Good luck with the appointment.

Hi. Yes, may be the honeymoon but your needs will probably increase as mine have. Don't forget to do carb-counting once your Bolus needs increase. This will reduce hypo risk and increase eating freedom.
