[QUOTE="In Response, post: 2353862, member: 527103"] Exercise can impact our insulin requirements for 48 hours. So if you were working hard on Friday, this could still impact your insulin needs over the weekend. And be aware, there are many things that can affect our blood sugars including food and exercise - you may be getting the hang of this diabetes lark so less stressed and needing less insulin. Sure, it is unlikely to affect your insulin needs so much that you need none, but combined with the honeymoon period, if could be. For example, a few years ago, 5 years after my diagnosis, I went hiking in the Himalyas. I was walking for about 6 or 7 hours a day with lots of up hill and no work stress. I gradually reduced my basal insulin to stop hypos. After about a week, my basal insulin was reduced to a tenth of usual. [/QUOTE]
