[QUOTE="RuthW, post: 1002855, member: 148713"] There is a ton of info in this on the Fitness, Exercise and Sports board here. How you reduce or increase insulin to cope with exercise will vary according to a lot of factors, including type of exercise, familiarity of exercise, your diet, timing of exercise (time of day, time since last bolus), etc. Like everything else in diabetes you have to start with a rule of thumb, then trial and error comes in, then after a stable patch, something changes (weather, muscle mass, familiarity with exercise type), and you have to change your doses again. Also, on judging your body composition change - especially when trying to develop muscle mass and lose visceral fat (only thing that really reduces insulin resistance in reality), the best measure is your waist circumference.
