Im still honeymooning, and i've managed to miss (by accident) my bolus for a meal once and I wasn't really affected. I've also missed my basal once too (before i split) and also was not affected. But this is down to the honeymoon period.

I've noticed a few diabetic references in movies and programs on TV. Like CSI, the other night there was an episode where a diabetic guy killed these girls at swinger parties... they caught him because one girl said he had "sickly sweet" breath. When they got in his car they turned on the air vent fans and "the smell" came out of the vent (oh PUH LEASE!!?), and that they couldn't smell it on his breath "just now" because he'd already taken his insulin that day... suggesting that if you miss your insulin within a couple of hours you have ketones on your breath... I thought that was a bit far fetched tbh...
