Hi..
Thanks for using HCM.,
Insulin has to be set according to Blood sugar thrice a day before you make reduction in dose / increase in dose . Without Physician advice its not recommended to reduce / increase / change of drug as Blood sugar has chance of increasing .
Have a good diabetic diet and regular followup.
Thank you
