[QUOTE="donnellysdogs, post: 938184, member: 17713"] Thats what I'm saying though... You are guestimating both bolus and basal reductions.. So how do you know which one is wrong? If you did a basal test and cut out your lunch, and then tested during and after the dancing up until teatime at least you could find out which is right or wrong. You are jyst guestimating them both at the moment and either one could be wrong. It is also the timing of when you start your basal reduction as well. To me, I would do basal testing. Have breakfast anf then nothing until teatime unless its carbfree like the jelly n cream.. Test whilst dancing and every hour as well until teatime and 2 hourly if necessary during evening / night. I would set up a different profile to switch to in the morning of the days when you go dancing and swop back according to whether you need a reduction as well at night on those days.. You may have to switch back to the other profile on waking the next day if you experience different levels at night on dancing days. On my pump in the end I had 3 different profiles. Nowadays back on mdi I still give less or more basal according to activities but currently you are just guestimating 2 doses of insulin. At least if you get your basal right for these days it gives you the basic to work on for your bolus if you want to eat pre dancing... [/QUOTE]
