Hi guys, I have a question that I hope some of you have an answer to! I was diagnosed about 4 months ago, and I was told I'm likely a T1D (still waiting on test results to confirm that). I'm on both…Continue

Barb replied to aconnell's discussion 'Honeymoon Period' in the group Canada Diabetes"Hi thereI was diagnosed T1 in July of 2011 at the age of 45. At this point in time, I take 7 units of Lantus in the morning and take anywhere between 1 and 5 units prior to meals, depending upon what I'm eating and doing. My endo said that, due…"

aconnell left a comment for nel"Hi Nel! To answer your question, I signed up for Reykjavic in August 2013. I'm really excited! But I'm also nervous about raising that much money. I was jsut wondering what kind of fundraising strategies you've used before. Any help…"

pancreaswanted replied to aconnell's discussion 'Honeymoon Period'"im ten months in and still hoping foolishly for the miracle some days. whenever i have to lower my basal rates or stop taking boluses for a couple of weeks, i think, wouldnt it be great if my immune system got with the program and just stopped this…"
Shawnmarie replied to aconnell's discussion 'Honeymoon Period'"Count me as another in the same boat. One year post-diagnosis with no need for basal and very low bolus amounts; but like Sam, my bolus needs have increased slightly in recent months."
"Hi Ali: The majority of people with new-onset Type 1 diabetes have a honeymoon period. So yes it is normal! Sadly not a miracle cure :("
"Please ASK about Team D ; will direct you , if I don't know the answer(s ):) ...promise !! ...I will do my 12 th event in Amsterdam 2013 ...my BIG question , which one did You sign up for ??"
aconnell replied to aconnell's discussion 'Honeymoon Period'"Thanks guys! I'm not feeling like such a freak anymore! But on the other hand you're dashing my hopes that my body has somehow miraculously cured itself...damnit!"
Sam replied to aconnell's discussion 'Honeymoon Period'"It's normal:) Same story as mine. After 6 months I'm still taking zero long acting, but it seems my need for fast acting with meals has increased some over the past few months. Like Julez said, it really doesn't matter a whole lot…"

BJ replied to aconnell's discussion 'Honeymoon Period' in the group Canada Diabetes"To answer how this could/would happen, the only way to know with 100% certainty what type of diabetes you have is with a C-peptide (unless things have changed but this is my understanding). It gets complicated when youre not in the normal age groups…"

Iceland :) ...one of the most popular destinations it seems ..are you a FB user ?? If Yes, "Team Diabetes" will get you there , LIKE and the rest I am sure you know .I visit every so often and sign up for Webinars ( specifically directed to " fund raising " and members share, what works for them or for those who want to find out about the program .What seem to work for me is the ASK via e-mail , hand delivered letters , members have donated towards mine and I match ( this way we both get a tx receipt) .Instead of BD , Christmas gifts etc. , friends, fam donate to my event.Next BD we will have a " party " at a local fav coffee shop ; those who attend can choose from menu , hubby will pay the bill and a min of $$$ is asked .I have added a discussion in the Canada Group , which I try to update regularly .I was interviewed by local paper about my event in A'dam ...this got people to donate :) ...only a few top of my head ideas ...if you like , I can give you via a pm our e-mail address ?? cheerio , N
