[QUOTE="djwesttexas, post: 1122171, member: 289207"] My own experience (with 56 years of T1D experience) is that any type of treatment choice (pump, any long-term insulin) will require some extra carb input after a good exercise session. The main reason being that whatever your "normal" levels of exercise are, your level bolus rate ultimately gets adjusted to that. If you exercise beyond those normal levels, it will require some additional carbs since the additional exercise is both burning whatever carbs you have and, I have noticed in myself, is going to process carbs more efficiently for several hours after the exercise. I don't think it would be possible to have a long-term approach that can get around it. [/QUOTE]
