[QUOTE="Lambey, post: 567547, member: 109684"] Hi Bebo321, I've been out for my run today with similar success! Started on 10.1 at breakfast (bit higher as I had a few beers last night) and had normal bolus but reduced basal to 9 again. Three hours later it was at 11.0 and I had an apple and biscuit and went out for my 5k. BG was 7.8 at half way point, had one glucose tab and finished on 6.5 (32m15 - getting better!). Think I will tweak this a little further for future runs with 1 unit more bolus for lower starting BG and one unit less basal to reduce drop. I would have loved to come to the Box Hill cycle ride, but I've got a cricket match that day and hope to be scoring runs for the mighty Hope Hawks Ladies! Does team BG have any events in North Wales / Liverpool or Manchester way? I've also figured out from what your advice the other day why my BG is so awful when I play cricket - I've been reducing my Bolus, but the nature of the game wth lots of shorts sprints means my blood sugar climbs and not falls. I'll take normal dose with lunch before I play. Hopefully with a little bit of experiementation I will get better control when exercising - at least I'm not reducing the wrong insulin now! Thanks again. [/QUOTE]
