Adjustments for exercise?

[Dougal]

I'm looking for some advice on how to adjust my insulin before/during/after exercise. I go to aqua-aerobics for an hour, the first time I went my BG was 5.4 before the class started, I disconnected my pump and after the class BG was 3.2. Last time, I cut my basal down to 30% for 1.5 hours before the class, BG was 6.7 before the class but was 16.9 afterwards. Any ideas on what to try next?

Also, I'm planning on starting to jog, I'm not very fit so will start slowly - does anyone have any advice on how to adjust before/during and after?

Thanks

Been advised to start at 50% basal for one hour before during and after exercise. Will try tomorrow for the first time on a 6 mile walk.

After some experience of going hypo after exercise, will try 10% TBR next time. Been told to do this for an hour before, during, and an hour after exercise.
