I'm sorry your dog isn't doing well at the moment! It's certainly not normal that she is having a loss of motor skills, and a lack of coordination can be caused by too much insulin. I recommend she sees a vet immediately for this. Do not adult her insulin dosage under recommended by a vet, as you could accidentally do great harm to her. The vet can adjust her dosage if needed.
