[QUOTE="ElyDave, post: 419437, member: 74042"] very quick, rushed question, I'm not being rude, just short of time. Who told you to reduce your basal after exercising? I 'm on a higher basal dose than you with 8 at noight and 6 in the morning and I have NEVER yet changed the evening dose even on days of signifcant exercise. I have dropped it from 6 to 3 in the morning when I know I'm going to be doing extended endurance exercise - 2 hours plus of running, cycling etc. At the same time I will drop my Novorapid dose immediately before the exercise to one unit. Generally, to avoid post exercise hypos, if I'm exercising before a meal I will lower the post exercise meal dose by a factor of 30-50%. I very rarely exercise immediately after a meal, and find that if I run 3hr + after lunch I won't need to change the lunchtime dose. And like you I can find even walking has an effect, so walking from the Carmelite Hotel to Talisman House has resulted in me testing at <4.0 on arrival because I didn't frop my breakfast dose.
