coukd someone please explain. What the honey period is that people keep referring too? Thanks
 
It refers to when your Beta Cells haven't quite all quit working, sometimes they unexpectedly secrete some insulin that you were not expecting.

This can go on for weeks, months or I have hear (on this board) years.
 
Ah ok so can this sometimes cause unexplained hypos etc? Thanks for your reply
 
As you give the final few beta cells that you have a bit of rest when you start injecting insulin, sometimes they decide to play again and they give no warning that they are going to do this. Hence the unexpected hypos. A bit frustrating when you are trying to keep good control, but that is just how it is. So just keep the jelly babies to hand and be ready for some unexplained hypos and be nice to yourself if you find that you don't get the levels right at the start. We are not robots and it is quite difficult when you pancreas decides to muck you around without warning.
