[QUOTE="sticks71, post: 356315, member: 54789"] Hi. Like you say everyone is different and you'll likely receive lots of different opinions on this. What worked for me though, was to reduce my basal rates by 50% 2 hours before my workout, with the full basal rate coming back in an hour after my workout. Obviously very frequent blood tests will need to be done especially when you are just starting your exercise routine. Again, for me, I have to be careful for up to 2 days after as I sometimes get a delayed reaction with my BG levels. I guess the best way is to reduce your basal levels by a certain %age as a starting point, and then you can fine tune as you progress. Just make sure you have some Lucozade or something similar handy when you are exercising. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
