Message: <blockquote data-quote="emshee1" data-source="post: 2756610" data-attributes="member: 596628">Thanks for getting back to me, I’m feeling a bit better (less frustrated than I was earlier).I had about 40grams (weetabix) carbs at breakfast and had 1 unit novarapid. Activity mode on pump suspends insulin but I think you are right that I should have turned that on earlier than I did. I also should have started out my walk with a higher BG, it was 13 when I started walking. When on MDI I would also have taken less insulin for breakfast, there is something different about the pump though that seems to make hypos faster? Maybe constant drip of insulin? On reflection actually going hypo isn’t a big deal, Iv lived with this for a while. The problem is that it makes me fearful and as a result I over corrected.  So fear of going very low and the fear of going very high.  Thanks for your reply. I have dusted myself off and will be out again tomorrow for a walk although not 7miles!</blockquote>
