Hi All,
I newly diagnosed ( 6 weeks ago) as type1. I'm a male aged 45. I've started to carb count and seem to be settled on 12 units of Basal (Solus) and a ratio of 1 unit of bolus (Apidra) to every 10g carbs. I've lost around 1 1/2 stone since being diagnosed. I've just bought a new bike ( one without an engine for a change) and I intend to cycle regularly in addition to some light weight work and other cardio activities. I was wondering if anyone could provide advice as to how I should adjust my insulin intake prior and after exercise.
Kind regards
Steve
