the honeymoon phase
The “honeymoon phase” or honeymoon period is a period of time – generally soon after being diagnosed and starting insulin therapy – when the blood sugar levels are not yet elevated, and may even dip below normal (hypoglycemia). This is caused by the fact that in addition to the newly prescribed insulin regimen, a small percentage of pancreatic beta cells continue to produce their own insulin for a short time.
During this time, less insulin is needed, because the body’s own pancreatic cells are still operating to some extent. This diabetes honeymoon phase generally lasts anywhere from a few weeks to several months, though on rare occasions, patients have remained in this state for as much as 1-2 years. As the natural pancreatic cells remaining are destroyed or become dysfunctional, blood sugar levels and symptoms of the disease will gradually increase, which then requires an adjustment of the amount of insulin necessary each time it is given.
