| Hey there Amy,
Sorry to hear about your daughter's DIabetes, but who better than you by her side with the same disease?
We are all survivors here and live good lives as best we can.
The Honneymoon phase is exactly what BriOn said. It usually iccurs when DIabetes is first diagnosed and the pancrease hs not completely shut down just yet.
This occurs after diagnosis. The length is variable (days, weeks, months, and rarely—years), and not everyone has one. As a general rule, the younger the patient at diagnosis, the shorter the “honeymoon.”As a result, insulin doses are decreased and some patients may be able to stop taking insulin entirely for a time. However, it’s important to note that the honeymoon phase is a temporary and after the need for insulin will rise again.
