Dear sir/madam i can understand your concern
in my opinion the patient might be in honey moon phase of diabetes.
due to treatment diabetes with insulin it will make your pancreas to get activated and the beta cells will start producing insulin 'this honey moon phase may prolong up to 6-10 months but its highly variable.
there is nothing to worry
but the case should be monitored care fully.
daily blood sugar testing can be done once or twice after 2 hrs after meal.
if possible test C-peptide analysis
Regards
