Gary Scheiner says

She is most likely in a "honeymoon" phase of her type-1 diabetes.  Soon after diagnosis, when insulin injections are given, the pancreas regains the ability to produce some insulin on its own.  This keeps blood glucose levels very close to normal which, in turn, prevents the spilling of sugar into the urine.  The honeymoon phase may last anywhere from a few weeks to several months.  Once you start noticing elevated readings when she first wakes up, that's a sign that the honeymoon is just about over.

You can ask your neighbor what he uses to keep his lawn so green, or ask a friend for her famous zucchini bread recipe... But who do you ask those day-to-day questions about life with diabetes? Your medical team is the place to start, but we've gathered a few other experts here to help you out as well. Check out the latest questions parents are asking, and pose your own, too!
