After three weeks of pumping, I decided its time to start exercising and getting toned for the summer (or more likely for the autumn!). I have never really mastered bolus/basal adjustments for exercise when I was on MDI but I hope, now on a pump, it will be much easier.
It would be great, if you could post in this thread, your exercise and adjustment you do to your basal and bolus. I know everyone if different, but it would be good starting point for me.
I found this article online, which gives you some good advice http://integrateddiabetes.com/Articles/hcare/exercise & pump therapy for ADA pump book.pdf
Im off to the gym in about 90 minutes. I reduced by basal by 50% from now and reduced my breakfast bolus by 50%. Im planning to do about 50 minutes cardio. Im not sure if that isn't too much of reduction but I want to be on a safe side. I will post my results later
