Hi, sleepy, not sure I understand your message, but tell us more and glad to see you here!

welcome Sleepy I'm figuring you're saying you're not on insulin at the moment and your BGLs are normal? I'm not sure how that works for a type 1? Can you share with us what your diet, etc. is like.

What can we do for you, sleeps2much?

So you used insulin for your first 8 or 9 months. Did you really need it? If not, you must have had a lot of very low blood sugar. Now your pancreas is producing insulin so you have stopped insulin. Do you follow a low carb diet so you will be more likely to continue without insulin? I have not heard of a honeymoon period lasting four years, but maybe it is possible.

My pancreas stopped completely in 1945, when I was 6. I have now been type 1 for 65 years, and am very healthy.

Good luck to you in the months ahead. I am anxious to see how much longer you can go without insulin.

You're saying you were misdiagnosed? Diabetes doesn't just go away - you are either Type 1 or not, and sounds like you never were if you're completely normal now. Unless I'm missing something, which is entirely possible.

drs put me on insulin becuase my pacreas was making very little insulin + it would help with me putting weight on, can one really honeymoon this long ?

 

[sleeps2much]

maybe i was misdiagnosed, but yes im normal now but the drs say im honeymoon but for this long ? nah how can one be diabetic for 8 -9 months and then one day it all stops ?, they did do other test to confirm i was T1 i had all the symptoms too

 

[sleeps2much]

they did say going on insulin would help prolongg my pancreas maybe thats why i might stil be honeymooning ? or maybe it was a misdiagnosed? or it was a one of thing like the flu i dont know lol

Sounds more like a case of pancreatitis and not type 1 diabetes. It will or can go away on its own but diabetes lasts a life time.

It sounds like a mis dx even during my honeymoon i always needed insulin. Even without eating a type 1 can easily hit coma levels without insulin. id say don't take insulin if you don't need it. it can give you high bp. but if you have a meter keep using it so if your bs does go out of wack you can catch it early
