[QUOTE="Bebo321, post: 565853, member: 68730"] Hi Lambey, You seem to be experiencing a significant drop in BG more consistent with a drop caused by too much on- board insulin. It is pretty tricky trying to get a handle of BGs with exercise - particularly if you have recently changed your insulin regime (injecting to match for carbs will be much better - so great news!) Hard to really to offer too much advice, but from the information you've given it suggests that firstly you haven't quite got your bolusing ratios right yet - 16.5 three and a half hours after eating is high. Secondly I wondered if perhaps your basal is a bit high? (which may account for the speedy fall) Falling BGs does happen with exercise, but not as quickly as you are experiencing, and ordinarily for a 5k (30mins or so) you shouldn't really see much if any of a drop. Really for a 5k, you want to set off at around the 6 mark, and stay pretty stable throughout and then reduce your bolus with your next meal (or snack if you're not going to be eating for a while) The trouble is that it can take quite a bit of experimentation to get to that point! Have you considered joining the Sporty Diabetic Type 1's Facebook page and post the question? Most particularly to get a bit more input on the basal/bolusing side.
