[QUOTE="Mrs Vimes, post: 1194163, member: 67132"] Hello again. For a PT session, I increase my basal 30 minutes before by +100%. And run it for 1 hour 30 minutes at that rate. I also At the start Of the session bolus 1.5 u. This means that I may start in the low 5s but if the wind is in the right direction and I'm wearing my lucky socks my sugars don't go above 8 for that session. Because he's a b@@ger and it's mainly HIIT at the start then super sets of weights. I get big snatch back of sugar after that so by the time I've got home and showered my sugars start to drop. (It could also be the extra insulin but not sure). It means I very rarely bolus for that lchf tea I eat after. If I'm in the 4s before bed I'll do a -50% for 1 hour ish. Endurance I tend to decrease by -50% for half hour before the start, contunue it half hour into the activity then back to normal. (45 minute spin class for example). If I feel I'm heading low, I eat a 4g glucotablet and decrease basal by -50% for half an hour. I'm better at predicting this as the PT does something different every week. If it's an evening class I'll probably bolus half the amount for my tea. Face it - we are bleedin geniuses to deal with this. It's like one of those maths questions where you have to say how many people were left on the train at Manchester. [/QUOTE]
