[QUOTE="Bebo321, post: 567777, member: 68730"] T Thanks for that ElyDave, Appreciate your experience on this. The reason why I suggested it may be connected to basal in this instance is that [USER=109684]@Lambey[/USER] saw such a significant drop. To drop from the 16 mark to around 4 in around 30mins of running three and a half hours after the last bolus - hmmmm. Seemed a pretty sensible suggestion - particularly if the insulin regime was recently changed. Ordinarily I totally agree that a basal reduction wouldn't be required for such a short period of exercise, in this instance it suggests to me that the starting basal regime may need looking at though. So far a bit of a reduction in basal appears to have helped - but you make a very sensible suggestion to generally focus around bolus adjustment over fiddling with basal for these 30min or so runs. As someone who has been able to get their insulin management so tightly controlled, I am sure Lambey will take note of your words of wisdom. Thanks also for your comment about the effects of bolus lasting for up to 5hrs too - I was aware it could still have some impact up to fours hours later, but not longer.:) Hope your running is going well! Hubby is doing the half Ironman on Exmoor tomorrow. Great weather for it! Sun cream on for us spectators me thinks! [/QUOTE]
