The more assistance you provide your remaining eta cells, the longer they will last. If prolonging your honeymoon is something you want to do, you need to supplement the insulin your beta cells are producing. Most doctors will put you on a basal (Lantus or Levemir) because it involves only one injection a day. But mealtimes is when the beta cells are the most stressed and where supplemental insulin is needed the most. You might as well go all the way and get started on full MDI now rather than later. The nice thing about it is that achieving really good control will be easy as your pancreas is still producing insulin. If you don't inject any insulin it will stop doing this sooner rather than later.
