Rose Before I used the Omnipod Dash pod system my T1 management for training was as follows : Humulin I as background and on a non-training day would take 2 doses of 12units, say 8am and 8pm. On a training day for a 4 hour cycle I'd reduce my morning dose by 75%. I used 1g CHO per Kg of body...

OK good to know.. Thanks

Sounds like a good plan. Did Insulet respond to your email?

Has anyone experienced insulin delivery issues approximately 12 hours prior to Pod requiring changing? I am experiencing reduced/no insulin delivery during this time, which is leading to unexplained high blood sugar readings.

Hi I road, track and trail ride. Diagnosed T1 13 years ago. Currently using Omnipod. For a 3 hour road ride I decrease my base insulin by 85%....usually 45mins prior to setting out. Sometimes require a carbo top up in last hour. Depends on intensity of ride, terrain etc. Am careful post ride in...

Becky I use a staged reduction prior to training. Then 0.2 units per hour during workout. Post workout glycaemic response will depend on type of exercise so be careful. Still use Lucozade for hypos. Check out TORQ website for info related to exercise/nutrition. Ross

Hi Becky I'm T1 eleven years. On a Cellnovo pump... Its excellent. CV training works for me. I'm a cyclist. Road, track and trails. I train 5 days per week... 3 CV sessions & 2 weights. CV usually 1 hour interval profile on bike, Versaclimber or Xtrainer. HIT towards end of sessions to avoid...

I've been on a Cellnovo pump for 8 months. Am Type 1 & road, track cycle as well as MTB. Control much more accurate but speak with your diabetes team to find appropriate profiles. Trial and error as usual with this condition. Good luck.

On Cellnovo system as a trial. So far so good... First time on a pump so no experience of other systems. Works for my employment profile and a road /track cyclist. Happy to discuss.

on Cellnovo pump as a trial...excellent so far. Previously MDI so nothing to compare pump wise. happy to discuss.

On Cellnovo system as a trial....first time on a pump and as a road/track cyclist the flexibility etc is excellent.

I track and road cycle. Early morning sessions I find there is no additional CHO requirement for up to an hour. Later sessions I require approx 85g per hour and no fast acting, Novarapid for me. Will reduce my background Humulin I by 50% for all training sessions. Agree with izzj09's comments...

Hi sklane11 low carbs approach works for me. Lower levels of novarapid minimises liklihood of error. Still require 85 g CHO per hour for road & track cycling.... Then adjust insulin accordingly.

forgot to say I use banana loaf and SIS Go Electrolyte for training.

hi rainbowchild here's the regime i use when training : I'm on Novarapid and humulin I. If cycling to work, 10 miles each way I won't have any carbs or insulin for the morning commute. Usually blood glucose about 6.0 in the morning and i can manage the 10miles ok. I will take 12units humulin I...
