question about highs, lows and normals

Hi everybody... i'm back... with my stupid questions

First of all... I wish you all a VERY VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!! May all your wishes come true ... and be good, ok? ...

So, after all these days, full of eatings I am somehow amazed that my bs is so normal. Sometimes I ask myself... do I have diabetes?... joking, off course, but i do wonder how come that besides the basal insulin which I take around 25 ... i hardly have to take during the day. So my basal is called Insulatard which is an equivalent of Lantus... during the day I take around 5-7 (sometimes 10) of ActRapid (similar to Novorapid but with a longer action) three times a day... every time I eat, depending on what I eat. During these days I did eat more than allowed... I even ate sugar cakes and drank non-light coke or something like that (I do not drink alcohol at all... I hate it)... and almost all my values normals... the biggest was 180... the first value on this year taken on 1th January when i woke up... and I ate a lot and drank a lot during the night.

What I do not understand is how come that after all these I still have a normal bs... and last month... without eating sugar, just because i was stressed and nervous during one day, I was 352. Also, during the period of the month ... I have lows... and highs... How come?

How long is supposed the honeymoon to be? I have almost 7-8 months since I was discovered and my doctor told me that these quantity of insulin is somehow during this period. But can honeymoon last 7 months?

And another question is did any of you have complications due to the diabetes? With the eyes or the kidneys? If yes, when did it start and why? Uncontrolled diabetes or these complications appear anyway after a while?

Thank you all.
