Honeymoon

My daughter is 12, and was diagnosed two months ago with Type 1 diabetes. Her insulin has been reduced from 39 to 13 units. Could 100-200mg. of niacinamide prolong her “honeymoon period?” Also, she has a small patch of dry skin on her back that has not responded to cortisone cream. Could “Diabet-x” help?

My 8 year old daughter was diagnosed 1.5 months ago. At breakfast, she would not eat. Her blood sugar was 82. She was almost comatose. She couldn’t eat, drink, or walk. I let her sleep for 10 minutes and then gave her juice. Her sugar level was now 39. Why did this happen when she was at a normal level?

Could she just be going through her honeymoon period?

Since my son’s diagnosis a month ago, we have eliminated NovoRapid and reduced his Lantus to prevent lows. Is it okay to give Lantus only while he is in his honeymoon?
