[QUOTE="johnny37, post: 174463, member: 24624"] been pumping for ten months and still struggling to get it right. When reducing the basal for exercise, when do you reduce? When the exercise starts, or before? This morning was typical of me. Before breakfast at 8am bg was 3.7 so did not bolus, A 9am bg was 7.6 so bolussed and reduced basal to 0%. Went on a dog walk. On returning at 10am bg was 2.8. Similar yesterday. I guess the answer is not to bolus when Im due to exercise. My endo says I am insulin sensitive. ie hypod even though temporary basal was zero. Yes, I know. No need to tell me my early morning basal needs reducing! I will try tweeking it again. Thanks [/QUOTE]
