[QUOTE="Juicyj, post: 1230410, member: 53162"] Hi [USER=324327]@Julian_Hands[/USER] another alternative apart from reducing bolus by 50% is to have a small banana before heading out, which should carry you through your ride. I appreciate that when cycling it's difficult to feel a hypo with the effort being put in but stopping to test at half way is a must. As mentioned above its an investment but get yourself a Libre so you can test whilst moving, it's easy to scan this and could prevent a hypo, personally I wouldn't touch your basal but maybe eat more effective carbs that will stop the low. What do you eat for breakfast ? So are you eating something substantial like porridge/weetabix ? It's a bit of trial and error I know but it will improve with knowledge and experience. [/QUOTE]
