I have a 16 yo, diagnosed 1year-5months ago. Since she was diagnosed she has been recieving chiropractic treatments, especially when her numbers seem to be climbing higher. Her endocrinology team says she is still in honeymoon period and are not sure why. They claim the older a person is at diagnosis, the shorter this period lasts. At her age in diagnosis, it is average 3-4 months of honeymoon. She is going on 17 months. I attribute this to the chiropractic adjustments, which allow the nervous system to flow better, and possibly allow the pancreas to continue to produce some insulin still. Of course, this is only my opinion as a mom. So, I didn't answer your question at all-the girl loves carbs! Sorry
