[QUOTE="Chas C, post: 818332, member: 49223"] Hi Poppy. When I'm unwell I usually increase by 20% to sometimes 150% depending on the need. For activities it depends on the type and duration, I try to not eat carbs first so if its a planned activity I'd reduce basal an hour before by between 20-80% then keep it reduced during the activity, raising it again back to normal about 30 mins after I've finished. Setting depending upon my levels before and during the activity (wearing a Dex does help a lot with this). I try to avoid needing to have a snack if I can. [/QUOTE]
