[QUOTE="deborabaratto, post: 2142596, member: 288591"] Hey Stuart! It's great that you're still on your honeymoon period - you can actually prolong this period indefinitely with maintaining good blood sugars (it's really the higher BS that "destroys " the rest of your insulin producing cells), so I've seen a lot of times people like you, in the honeymoon period, to start with low doses of rapid insulin on main meals or even really small doses of basal insulin (which is the one you inject yourself only once a day), and this helps so much because if you can keep your insulin-producing cells, you'll have a better overall management since your body still produces some insulin (it's more physiological that taking it all throughout injections, which can be quite tricky). I don't know if what I said made sense to you, I hope so [emoji28] if not, just say so I can explain it more clearly :) You could asked your diabetes health care team about these informations next appointment if it interests you :) There's also a really nice explanation of all this on the Diabetes Solution book from Dr. Bernstein! Hope it helped! [/QUOTE]
