To answer your question the honeymoon period is relatively common. Some people have honeymoon periods that last for days or weeks, others have them that last for months or years and some people never experience one. My daughter didn't. If it is type 1 (& not caused by meds) and you are in the honeymoon period, your pancreas cannot recovered permanently. Once you get type 1 it does not go away, it may get better for a while, but it doesn't just go away. Some folks can stop injections entirely during their honeymoon, but they eventually start increasing as the remaining insulin producing cells die off.

Now if this is related to type2 or medication, it could be a different story entirely. How were you diagnosed? What tests did they do?

EDIT: I would agree that the article is very interesting. It sounds like this could have been precipitated by the meds.

Best of luck!
