[QUOTE="Julian_Hands, post: 1230320, member: 324327"] This is why I need a pump, today has been a nightmare but also lessons learnt. I'm on pen not pump and last Friday I reduced my long acting insulin to 14 units before cycling to work, but found my sugars creeped up during the day. Last night I took 16 units of long acting insulin but my sugars plummeted from 11.6 to 2.8 whilst cycling in, restored my glucose levels with flapjack to 6.8, only yo find 2 hrs later it dropped to 2.9 again. I had a training meeting all afternoon and had to get my sugars up to 13 before entering and after the meeting (2hours later) sugar had dropped again to 4.8. Really struggling with the cycling and BG control. What is also annoying is the additional carbs I need to take to compensate for the exercise, which feels like it defeats the purpose of doing the exercise. [/QUOTE]
