[QUOTE="In Response, post: 2526171, member: 527103"] Suspending basal is great, isn’t it? I do it a lot when exercising and it makes it so much easier. I find that I need to resume my basal about 30 to 45 minutes before completing my work out. i don’t know about the OmniPod but my pump allows me to select a period for suspension so I try to use this to let my basal resume “automatically “. Otherwise, my levels rise when I finish and I feel a bit rubbish. We are all different but this is something you can play with. I have also set my pump to resume at 50% basal towards the end of my exercise. This is a bit more faffy as I basically have to set up a new basal profile. However, it is worth it if I do my workout at the same time of day … provided I remember to revert back to my normal pattern within the next 24 hours. The other thing I wonder about feeling more tired than usually is that you probably ran harder than you have for some time. And you have done it on two consecutive days. [/QUOTE]
