[QUOTE="hale710, post: 627128, member: 62974"] I've been diagnosed 18 months now. Like you, I find my BG can be quite low, even taking me to what I now consider hypo (below 4) if I have no insulin on board and do not eat much. If I do eat then it will go up but gradually sort itself, I imagine much like it would for a type 2. The warm weather and general increased activity in the summer I believe helped with this, as it gets cooler my TDD has gone up by 1 or 2 units. Like Dave mentioned, it has been suggested that by injecting insulin we alleviate the strain in the pancreas. I was diagnosed early on and so I think this is exactly what has happened to me. Continue to take your insulin, if you find yourself going hypo then either reduce the dose, or if you're not confident with doing that yourself then speak to your DSN or doctor about it :) [/QUOTE]
