[QUOTE="zicksi101, post: 818133, member: 97084"] Levemir sounds like a good option to give the flexibility to reduce background insulin the next day without a pump. The idea being it works for 12 hours so you could reduce the morning dose the next day for example to avoid hypo. Certainly more flexible than the 24 hour insulins (e.g. Lantus) where effects of a reduced dose is eventually seen 3 days later! It sounds like you're on the right lines already, monitoring your BGs and efforts, as others have suggested anaerobic = BG up, aerobic = BG down. After anaerobic exercise and a liver dump, be aware that your liver will say hey give me my sugars back and reduce your BG in response some time later, so always need to be careful not to overcorrect that high BG with insulin. Having said that I fully appreciate it's frustrating to see BGs going into the 20s having had this experience myself! Runsweet makes an attempt at quantifying the effect of HR on BGs here: [URL]http://www.runsweet.com/HeartRate.html[/URL] [/QUOTE]
