Hi
Has anyone else experienced an extended T1D honeymoon period like I appear to be?
I was diagnosed in October 2021 and put straight on insulin but I find it really difficult to gauge how much basal to give myself as, from time to time, my pancreas appears to kick in and start producing some itself. For example, until around 2 weeks ago I thought I was on a stable dosage of 20 units in the morning and 22 at night but i have had to reduce this significantly and had a night-time hypo last night on only 14 units. Perhaps I should be thankful that my pancreas hasn’t totally given up the ghost but it’s incredibly frustrating as I don’t know how much to give myself.
