[QUOTE="ElyDave, post: 419715, member: 74042"] Why not do your basal in the morning on waking, if you can do it any time? I actually have a similar problem, not that I'm out clubbing every night, but if I'm away from home I'm eating in restaurants which makes the whole carb counting thing more difficult plus insulin timing with the whole extended meal time thing vs being at home, making dinner, eating dinner. I'm not sure how much the exercise habit has really helped apart from having a good level of fitness and therefore needing lower levels of insulin overall. But as you've discovered yourself, being very insulin sensitive has it's own special challenges, and then when you go and throw in endurance training and it has not been teh most simple exercise at times. Control during exercise has been realtively straightforward, based on previous experience, but it's the aftermath that's caught me a few times with a massive low a couple of hours later when I've been out wandering around town and had find a bench and sit down very quickly. Think Like a Pancreas is definitely a great read and I keep going back through it to recheck stuff again. [/QUOTE]
