Every body is different so do not think that one particular dosage is too much, the right amount of insulin to take is the amount that keeps you balanced. That being said, hypos can be very dangerous in both the short and long term so making sure that you eat enough to keep your glucose levels in target are incredibly important. If it is so bad that you are feeling low often then you should immediately see your doctor and seek some time with your endocrinologist to discuss your options for alternate treatment. IMHO I think set doses of insulin aren't a good idea however I seem to be quite sensitive to it at this stage of my diabetes.</blockquote>
