| Yeah, isn't is just ****ed strange??? lol...!! It took me a lot longer than 10 years to figure that out--good for you! In fact, I had intuited that my pancreas MUST be getting regenerated and then destroyed in some unpredictable cycle, over and over. During my 40 years of diabetes, I have experienced my insulin requirements change dramatically from time to time, always to return eventually, in a few weeks or a few months, back to my baseline. One time, maybe five or six years ago, I was taking virtually NO insulin, yet maintaining perfect glucose levels--well, not perfect, because I was having lows all the time and thus continuously reducing my insulin. It lasted over 2 months, and I had an a1c and endo visit toward the end of that phase. My a1c was as low I I have ever had--6.1, and when my doc saw the amount of insulin I had redused to, he joked, "Well, maybe your pancreas has regenerated itself!" Ha-ha, we both laughed--I asked him, "No, really, why does this happen?" He could offer no rerasonable explaination. So, I'm not surprised at the theory that it IS, in fact, what I had almost in jest proposed a while back. And so it goes--up and down, high and low--just when you are sure your control is excellent, wait a few weeks--it's tale off somehwere with a mind all its own!
