[QUOTE="hale710, post: 419457, member: 62974"] Carmelite to talisman is a deceptively long walk, most of it is a gentle incline too. Nice choice of hotel though ;) So take an average day when I'm going to have a run, I eat lunch at 11.30. Usually 1 unit Novorapid with that assuming its from the canteen. Leave work at 4, drive home etc test before run and usually have a Jaffa cake (9g carb) because I know ill drop while running. Ill start my run around 5pm (over 5 hours since lunch bolus) and do 4k usually, about 30-40 minutes (need to improve that!). Test again at home etc. basal at 6pm, reduce by a third, so only 1 unit. Dinner is normally pasta based, 30g portion for me. I reduce the Novorapid here too, take usually 0.5 or 1 unit instead of 1.5 dependant on the meal content. The next morning breakfast at 7am at normal ratios. Initially I didn't reduce basal, just skipped bolus with dinner. It technically worked, in that I would wake up at a good level but I would obviously have a huge spike before hand. The next day I would have random hypos and generally be a bit of a shambles. I phoned the DSN and she suggested this way around instead. So far so good anyway! Such small doses though. The other place I know suggests reducing basal is the book "think like a pancreas" [/QUOTE]
