Ginny, I just read the email from Ann who wrote to you about the honeymoon
phase that her son experienced.  And I also just sent you some questions.  My
son is also a Type 1 diabetic, who also went through the honeymoon phase.  He
has had diabetes for almost 7 yrs.  I think his honeymoon phase lasted quite
a while,  possibly close to a year, where he did not need very much insulin
at all.  From what I understand, during the honeymoon phase, your body is
still producing insulin, but not enough, and will eventually produce none.
According to one of my resource books, "During the honeymoon, some insulin
still is being made in the islet cells in the pancreas. THis time the body
may not need much extra insulin.  This is the time when people often think
they don't have diabetes. They may be attracted to " miracle cures.' The
honeymoon period usually lasts two or three months, but may last as long as
two years.  After this period the body will again need more insulin." (
Understanding Insulin Dependent Diabetes, by H. Peter Chase, M.D., Barbara
DAvis Center for Childhood Diabetes, Univ of Colorado, 1992.)   I do  not
know if this info will help or just confuse things for you.  I remember once
my husband commenting on the fact that our son needed so using so little
insulin, maybe he did not really have it.  But he really knew that that was
just a dream.   And this may be way off base.  Good luck!  Mary in Kansas
