[QUOTE="azure, post: 1230695, member: 39639"] Your exercise could be increasing your insulin sensitivity (not a bad thing) When I was first diagnosed, I was on a basal of 2 units, but it's now still only around 7 units more than 20 years later (I'm on a pump) Do you have half unit pens? I find they're really helpful if you're only taking small doses of insulin. Have you considered a pump? That allows for fine adjustments and temporary basal rates for exercise. If you're continually going low then it would suggest you need less insulin. The right amount of insulin is the amount that works for you :) There are people here on tiny doses and people on much larger doses. Insulin needs can vary a lot. [/QUOTE]
