[QUOTE="Snapsy, post: 1394123, member: 265172"] Before I started running and before I started pumping I started swimming. I worked so, so hard to be safe with it, and with a lot of trial and error I nailed it. I would have porridge either 20, 15 or 10 minutes before leaving the house, with either 1 or 2 units of Novorapid depending on what my blood sugar was on waking - and it would be different every single day! The timing and/or the dose would vary enormously! I would swim 'through' the porridge spike, hoping to time it perfectly..... it did work for me, and I was felt all the trial and error was really worth it. Then when I started pumping I had to work it all out again. Then I started running and had to figure that out (still a work in progress - I'm only confident with exercise either first thing or pre-tea!), plus now I eat low carb etc etc etc - sooooooo many factors! I'm thrilled to hear you're going to be making more enquiries about pumping! I find my control is more predictable, and my confidence has soared! :) [/QUOTE]
