Is it harmful to raise my insulin by 5 units?

Depends: It depends on what your glucose levels are. Talk to your doctor as he/she knows the best on how to manage your diabetes. Also your doctor knows how you react to Insulin and the various dosages.

Depends: I advise against changing your regimen without letting your prescribing physician know about it. The answer for this question depends on what medications you are currently taking, what kind of Insulin and how much you are currently taking. Best to let your doctor decides.
