ASK GINGER - Is it normal to need to adjust my insulin doses sometimes?

Dear Ginger, It seems like the amount of insulin I need changes, sometimes just for a day, like around exercise, or sometimes it's like it's changed for a big period of time, and I'm going low a lot.

Ginger,

I find that I have to titrate my insulin doses all the time! When I'm shopping (read: walking all day,) outside in extreme climates (my body working to keep my temp stable,) or cleaning my room, I know I have to adjust my bolus doses. It's so true that you just have to think in advance about activity and stress, even when you're not going to the gym.

Great article :)
