In the T1D world, the honeymoon phase is this time period after one is diagnosed where their body is still producing a small amount of insulin, thereby making it a bit easier to manage.

It's honestly a blessing for a lot of newly diagnosed T1Ds, as it can help to lessen the blow and smooth out the transition.

When I was going through it after being diagnosed at 17 things just seemed easier. For one, I could actually feel when I was going low before I hit 55. I'd get that warning shake or weird head feeling and catch it in time.

Nowadays? I feel completely normal, then a switch flips and I'm on my deathbed looking at 50 mg/dL. My sensitivity to lows has just disappeared.

On top of that, the more active lifestyle of a college athlete naturally smoothed things out for me. I was moving constantly. Things just seemed to work out better.

All of that changed once I graduated and hit the working world. Sitting at a desk all day. More stress. Less consistent movement. Sleep schedule all over the place.

Since then it's become increasingly difficult to predict what my BG will do on any given day. I'm sure I'm not alone in that.

That unpredictability is what Subseven is built to help with. It takes all the variables that make diabetes feel chaotic (activity, stress, sleep, meals, timing) and helps you see which ones are actually impacting your BG on any given day.

Because we can't go back to the honeymoon phase. But we can get back some of that clarity.
