[QUOTE="ElyDave, post: 462481, member: 74042"] I will also be following this with considerable interest. As an endurance runner/cyclist I want to be abel to utilise my fat buring metabolism effectively, which of course means ketosis and very little circulating insulin. One of th ethings I'm routinely doing is slashing both basal and bolus doses the morning of a long run/ride, but I'm still finding the need to take in copious quantities of carbs. What I am thinking about doing is having zero insulin either bolus or basal on the morning of a long run/ride and relying on the previous evening's dose to mop up the carb rich breakfast and then hopefully go off my fat reserves. Addenbrookes has a very good DSN who specialises with athletes, adn I was planning on discussing it with her. [/QUOTE]
