[QUOTE="iHs, post: 938277, member: 8799"] The thing with basal rate testing for periods when more exercise is being done, is that the new basal rates would need to cover the exact level of exercise that was being done at the time of testing, so this is why only a guestimate basal rate profile can only be used and just hope that the basal rate profile selected will keep you ok for the type of activity that you are doing. Its never that easy to do exercise with perfectly controlled bg levels. Ive always eaten something carby before doing exercise and still do even with a pump. That way, I can choose when I am going to do exercise instead of using a pump to plan ahead and activate a new profile or do a TBR. If something happens and what I thought I was going to do doesnt take place, then Ive got a problem with bg levels and would need to do corrections, whereas eating food as long as I eat about 15mins beforehand, leaves me better controlled..
