[QUOTE="ElyDave, post: 918188, member: 74042"] Two things going on here, as others have said there may be a basal adjustment needed, so do the basal testing on a non-exercise day. Second, you really need to adjust bolus before exercise as well as post exercise. If you are exercising within 2 hours of a meal, you may need a significant reduction (experimentation), and remember that there will be active bolus insulin up to 5 hours after injecting. Post exercise you remain more insulin sensitive for a while (up to 24 hours) and your body is trying to replenish glycogen stores into muscles and liver, so you can have those post exercise hypos. You may need to reduce post exercise bolus as well. After a long run or ride I may reduce bolus by up to 50%, but that's through my own experience. Bottom line, experiment on yourself. [/QUOTE]
