Diabetes Type 1 and Diets/Healthy lifestyle

Everyone is different. I was advised to reduce my bolus, if dancing after my meal (e.g. eat 6pm, dance 8pm). I found that reducing by 30% at lunch and/or 20% at dinner worked for me. I also had to lower my basal by 2 units, or I'd go hypo the following day.
As I said, everyone is different, so you have to find out what works for you by trial and error.

I used to be a dancer. (True!) Trained at Laine theatre arts..
But these days??
For me. Using Lantus as basal. As it tailed off in profile I was most active.? Front man in a band. (Yeah it gets intense.) I can't eat prior to a gig in the evening so? Lunch no later than 1pm.. Bolus "on board" long gone.... Set up by 8pm, start gig by 9.
That's it on the day of the gig. I find I rarely go low during the evening of a performance, sort of held in a "flight pattern" in the 5s due to the basal tailing off... Even if I end up jacking the basal dose an hour late before bed.? I might also eat something when I get home or to a hotel room post gig. Like yourself, short change my bolus by 20%. & wake with a "fasting" in the late 4s early 5. With a little voddy & D Coke mixer to soften any liver dump...
I just like the idea of "singing for supper."

But that's just how I rock & roll!
