Insulin tricks & rain?

Sep 27, 2011 15:39

So I sm well aware that exercise decreases one's need for insulin in many ways - it increases metabolism so one burns more calories, and increases insulin sensitivity. I know this, and my sliding scale regimen helps. But I have already reduced my insulin dose by 20% ALREADY so far, and I still seem to be taking too much.

I don't really wanna increase my caloric consumption, since part of the reason for increased exercise is to drop a couple pounds, but that's what's been happening - just to recover from the lows blood sugars.

I think I'm gonna have to bute the big one and lower the longer acting insulin...

And on a totally unrelated note - there's rain on the radar. Not a solid clump of it, but scattered showers. Finfers crossed...

weather, diabetes
