[QUOTE="Marie 2, post: 2329317, member: 475037"] We just get more insulin sensitive at times. Sometimes it's an exercise or activity change, sometimes people need more or less because of the change of seasons. Sometimes who knows. Hormone changes from being a teen to a young adult is also high on the list. But there are numerous reasons. The trick is learning to adjust as you need to. Lower your basals, possibly your I/C ratio. A basal test is probably a really good idea if you stay at a lower need. Eating to a low is a sure fire way to gain weight and get really sick of Snicker bars. :angelic: I remember the night after my first 3 hour snorkel/swim I woke up to a bunch of low alerts and over the next 4 hours ended up consuming an entire 8 ounce orange juice, (usually I drink a couple of ounces only) a chocolate chip cookie which I thought would take care of it for sure and half a taro donut. The taro donut is because it was higher fat and I knew it had a slower digestion of carbs and I really wanted to finally get some sleep. I woke up with a complete normal level and no extra insulin was taken. Type 1 is as predictable that it's unpredictable. [URL]https://integrateddiabetes.com/basal-testing/[/URL] [/QUOTE]
