The T1D honeymoon phase usually begins about three months after starting insulin therapy treatment. For some reason, in certain type 1 cases, the pancreas gets a second wind where it produces little bursts of insulin, masking the type 1 symptoms. The length of this type 1 remission phase can vary, ranging from a few weeks to months to even years.

Giving insulin injections in public restaurants or on the bus might have been frowned upon, and wearing an insulin pump or continuous glucose monitor raised too many questions.
