[QUOTE="Trevor vP, post: 2447539, member: 518145"] Welcome to the forum. Type 1 is a marathon not a sprint. You have time to learn and your body to adjust. You will learn how to adjust your own Bolus (Rapid Insulin) over time for food combinations and exercise and the diabetic team and you will work out your correct Basal( Long acting). When you feel ready to exercise a bit again reach out and I am more than happy to share what I do on reducing my Bolus for exercise. All I can say is learn as much as you can about Carb counting get either the Carb and Calc book (buy once) or the Carb and Calc app ( I believe now on subscription). Easiest way to learn. Document test and document, non of us are the same so you will need to build your own structure. Insulin for type 1 is one of the few medicine doctors allow us to vary and control ourselves. Example of testing and learning : BG 6 before food ate 50 Grams of carb had example 5 units Bolus went for fast walk had Hypo at 25 mins .... you now you probably need to reduce Bolus by 15% before walk or take 10 Grams of your breakfast with you and eat it at 15 mins in... Always always have your hypo treat on you not in the car or in the house when you out walking. Fast acting glucose. In the beginning probably even good to walk with your meter so you can double check false hypo vs real hypo ( sometimes happen when you been high for a longtime) Good luck and best wishes [/QUOTE]
