Tom T replied to Tracy K's discussion '2nd honeymoon?'"Yup. I've had D for 18 years and I still go through brief phases where it seems like my insulin needs are abnormally low for my activity level and food intake. And things seem easier to control. It's just one of those frustrating aspects…"
latvianchick replied to Tracy K's discussion '2nd honeymoon?'"This can happen. It happens to me. Sometimes I need more, then sometimes I need less insulin. It can be that he is more active at the moment. Diabetes is fickle and can do things to us for no known reason.
My suggestion would be to increase the…"
Tracy K replied to Tracy K's discussion '2nd honeymoon?'"i have not checked for ketones, i have only done so if he has been high or sick. how would he have ketones from being low and what would one do if he did?
If anything he has been less active as it has been so cold here (like -30/-40) that they keep…"
Gerri replied to Tracy K's discussion '2nd honeymoon?'"Almost three years since I was diagnosed T1. I didn't have much of an initial honeymoon phase probably because of DKA burning out my beta cells. I occasionally have periods of consistent lows that can't be related to increased activity,…"
Elizabeth replied to Tracy K's discussion '2nd honeymoon?'"Tracy, is your son more active than before? I'm not sure if you're in a snow area, but where I am at we got a freak winter storm and seeing how I'm from Florida, wanted to go out and play in it and I ended up going super low due to…"
SuFu, Ph.D. replied to Tracy K's discussion '2nd honeymoon?'"Honeymooning is based on how much residual beta-cell mass is left. Once the beta-cells are gone, there should be no endogenous insulin secretion anymore. So I would doubt that it's a 2nd honeymoon. If you want to know for sure have your doc…"

I was just wondering if anyone knows whether or not it is possible to go back into the honeymoon phase after being finished with it for quite some time. my 6 yr old boy was diagnosed with type 1 nearly 2 years ago, started honeymooning shortly thereafter as was completely finished honeymooning over a year ago (I believe he sarted leaving the honeymoon phase 6 months after diagnosis. at our appointment over a year ago they said he was finished that phase). But over the last few weeks he keeps…See More

That was 24 years ago. Fast forward to…"

- Hi Tracy - I noticed that you are in Manitoba. We're in Winnipeg! We just moved here from Ontario a couple of months ago. My son is 6 and was diagnosed last year at Christmas. My husband is also type 1 - late onset. I would love to get more information about your experiences with the pump.

FatCatAnna said… - Thanks for comment on my page - BTW - Ontario is closer then BC to get pump coverage! Not sure if there is work out in either provinces for you - the big question of the day for most of us hanging onto our jobs during these economic days! BTW, I got some samples of a 32g long pen needle. Looks scary when you start to get ready to jab - but felt nothing! I am going to see if I need a prescription for these from endo, or just have pharmacy order them up for me (covered 100%). Tell your hubby, get pen refills, the portion that holds them (like fancy fountain pen ) - are given for free - as they charge you enough for the insulin pen refills (but like you say - he's coverage 100%). Very indiscrete way to inject with the good juice of life that keeps us happy !!!

Hey Tracy - saw your reply about using pen needles being less painful. I totally agree with you - and I use the shortest needle on the market - and I think it's 32g - with the teflon coating - it's so smooth. Due to insurance in the States - most of my American friends still use needles to inject their insulin with. I sometimes think we Canadians are spoiled with what we can get with our medical needs, but then there are others that would beg to differ. All I know here in Quebec, we have coverage for pen needles as long as your doctor prescribes it. Not sure what it's like in Manitoba (every province differs). Wierd that your hubby has never gone over to the pen needles! As soon as I could, I did (have been diabetic since age of 7).
Take care!
