[QUOTE="Bebo321, post: 578168, member: 68730"] Hi again, there is a level of detail to explain all of this that get quite technical quite quickly, simply put though if you are exercising regularly your sensitivity to insulin is significantly increased. As [USER=74042]@ElyDave[/USER] says, reducing your basal before, during and the evening after an endurance event is mimicking what a 'normal' body would do.... And is the advice given by the leading experts out there. During exercise you will be depleting your energy stores, intra-muscular glycogen and liver glycogen, and your body will want to restock, hence the risk of hypo for up to 48hrs after an event. Depending on your personal fitness/efficiency your body can be using up to 60-90g carbs per hour of exercise, and so if you think of it as a balance, if your muscles are using say 60g carbs per hour for 3 hrs you will have a deficit of 180g. If you consume 2 gels at 60g per gel then you'd still be left with a 60g deficit, PLUS however much your body needs to recover, rebuild etc etc... Don't worry about the reduced lantus! When TeamBG did the ride from russell to Barcelona last year some of the riders were down to 2 units per day!! There are many who are on less than 8u per day,all are very fit and exercise regularly!
