> [@Jen](#): > > some, like Dr. Bernstein, claim the honeymoon can be extended indefinitely if one strives for ultra-tight control immediately after diagnosis. I read Bernstein’s book when my son was diagnosed. I could not in good conscience ask my 11-year-old to go on a 6-12-12- carb diet routine, although I wanted to do everything possible to keep him whole. We did keep him on a tight control regimen, with a 70-120 range. His A1c when in honeymoon was never higher than 5.4%. He had months with \>90% time in range. But it still did not stop him from growing out of honeymoon. Being an adult, @johnstow, you can make that choice and decide to go [LCHF](https://forum.fudiabetes.org/t/what-i-m-experiencing-on-a-low-carb-diet/2279) (“Bernstein diet”). It potentially could prolong your honeymoon, although there is no actual peer-reviewed proof of Bernstein’s statement on honeymooning that I know of. But I may just have not read enough. There are many long-time diabetics on Bernstein’s who feel the same way as @Jen. --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.fudiabetes.org/t/honeymoon-phase-lada-t1d/2290)._
