A friend of mine not on this forum was diagnosed as having brittle diabetes he is type 1 and on a pump. He was advised by the hospital diabetic clinic consultant to decrease his insulin dosage so that he runs ( my words ) between 5 and 8. Previously he was told by a GP diabetic nurse that he should run between 2 and 4. Since decreasing his insulin he has had no hypo's and his body is now showing warning signs when his blood sugars are running low. Please check with a serious diabetic doctor about your condition do not adjust your dosage based on what I have written.
