Message: <blockquote data-quote="SimonP78" data-source="post: 2756612" data-attributes="member: 556474">I'd definitely need to eat if I walked 7 miles, so while I would also reduce bolus (or just do none if I were leaving for the walk pretty sharpish), I'd also have snack and be munching en-route!When I was typing my response I was also wondering whether there's a difference between novorapid as a basal drip vs e.g. a lantus. One assumes they should be the same (for a given active dosage), but I don't know.The one positive with exercise-induced lows is that when you stop you don't tend to go any lower (or at least it stops dropping pretty quickly) but it does mean you need snacks with you.With that said I do find it quite easy to go low without noticing if I'm walking - though I don't tend to walk for the sake of it, but rather because I need to be somewhere so I'm probably distracted and probably also have bolus on board.</blockquote>
