Hospital times: honeymoon

Honeymoon

Luckily, after diagnosis we have a period called honeymoon, where, once we are on insulin, our remaining beta cells work well enough that they are able to do the correction work (with “endogenous” insulin, i.e. our own, generated inside our body)  while we do the basal work and the meals (with “exogenous” insulin, i.e. insulin generated from the outside). So, for the next few months, you will likely only need to worry about basal, meal bolus, and your hypo protocol!
