We now try 3 lantus, 1 Novarapid:9 g carbs in the morning, 1:13 other times. We have good weeks and bad weeks, for no apparent reason (which I'm sure sounds familiar to readers).......Big Swiftyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00517517283834444552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1737388966176276622.post-9000544732464321772010-04-16T10:16:03.620+01:002010-04-16T10:16:03.620+01:00I can only speak for my son's end of honeymoon...I can only speak for my son's end of honeymoon, which seemed to be about 5 months after diagnosis... It was a rather sudden thing, with his requirements doubling in ten days! A pinch of salt is necessary though, as we were also on holiday, he was just pre-puberty etc... but it certainly was a drastic change. His requirements have not really lowered since.<br /><br />However, there have been times when things have been markedly slightly lower for several days, then markedly higher... We have come to think that because he's always had *pretty good* control, his pancreas may still splutter to life occasionally. There seems to be anecdotal evidence of this. Early good control (which you have had too?) seems to preserve some beta cell function, albeit irregularly...<br /><br />Good to be visiting your site again, phew! Was interested to read your Contour USB review -- we are still trying to get a 'run' at it!<br /><br />xxooPatricia Debneyhttp://www.wavingdrowning.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1737388966176276622.post-8541854306601983922010-04-12T11:25:55.221+01:002010-04-12T11:25:55.221+01:00This is just perfect:

My mind was so preoccupied trying to grasp the whole idea of having diabetes that I let that part of it slips through the cracks. <br /><br />I wish it had lasted longer, a few months after dx my A1C was 6.3. Through the years I've needed more insulin for carbs, but that's just part of having diabetes. It is ALWAYS changing! <br /><br />I don't think I coped with it at all...I ignored it! Which was really bad on my part, but I'm trying to make up for it now. I wish I had some advice to give for this!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
