[QUOTE="Vwhite1980, post: 1439465, member: 206092"] I think it all depends on how quick your body reacts to you insulin. My body is very quick to react, if I reduce my pump to early I end up with rocketing blood sugars. My DSD recommended 2 hours before hand to me. I play football which is slightly different to cycling! You will have to try it and test it till you get it right. Id imagine you want to avoid the low so try 2 hours before at 40% first and also lowerer you bolus as you did this morning if you eat before cycling and see how it goes. If you end up being higher than you want to be then adjust it for next time. Just remember your blood sugar dropped by 5 units during the whole ride to work so it will probably do the same thing on the way home as well, you need to be aware of this when adjusting your doses or you may need a boost of energy on half way home.
