[QUOTE="donnellysdogs, post: 175653, member: 17713"] Concerned that you can be still dropping by 3 during a dog walk. I really would start by dropping your basals 3 hours before walking. Switing a tbr to 0% is effectively turning the machine off, and I was told that this can lead to occluisons and other problems with pump if constantly setting a TBR to 0% or turning the pump off. Might be that you need to lower basals 3 hours before hand and then also have a tbr of 50% whilst walking etc. I no longer use TBR's for any of my dog walks, and wouldn't want to as I have a shocking memory and would forget. Personally I think it would be much better if you have a routine of walking dogs at a certain time each day to get the basals right on a permanent basis. [/QUOTE]
