[QUOTE="Snapsy, post: 1052206, member: 265172"] Hi [USER=45963]@lely[/USER] Have just seen your post - how are you getting on at the gym? I started on a pump in October, and it felt like I had to re-learn everything since I started exercising regularly six months before that - I'd just got confident enough to exercise on MDI and had worked out how and when best to eat and inject and exercise, and then it felt like a massive step to get back to it! It's still very much a learning process for me, but I've found to my intense surprise that an early morning 20 minute swim preceded by a small bowl of porridge (and followed by two eggs afterwards) requires a temporary basal rate of 150% for an hour and three quarters after I get out of the pool! The same intensity of swim at a different time of day though always results in a hypo, due I would think to more bolus insulin being on board. Still, the coffee machine at the gym does a lovely (free) latte which washes down glucose tablets a treat... Looking forward to learning more about this sort of thing here: [URL]https://www.animascorp.co.uk/SportsWeekend[/URL] [/QUOTE]
