J Jen1984 Member Messages 8 Location Perth, Scotland Feb 15, 2012 #3 All seems to be going well got my target range set between 5-7 and most reading are below 8! Struggled with the sets at first but since swapping to 9mm quick set that seems to work. Just need to sort out the exercise and drinking. Did 40 mins on the cross trainer and had 5 hypos after (After setting 20% basal reduction for 4 hours) Going to try 50% reduction next time. Drinking I ended up high so not going to drop basal and see what happens. Jen
