Guys I need some advice....

So I usually train around 3.5 -4 hours after my last Bolus in order to stop any lows during training.

Now I am off to Thailand and a friend has mentioned training first thing i.e before breakfast, I do get dawn phenomenon, how would you deal with this take 2/3 units for the DP and then go train? I don't wanna be yo-yoing through the session.
thanks

What I would do is try the first time without my normal dose for getting out of bed and see if the exercise cancels out the rise. Which could well end in going high for a bit, but it would give me very useful information on how to adjust my approach the next day.

You're travelling to a new country so likely you'll need to adjust more things, and likely diabetes will be a bit more work than at home. Time zone change, different foods, different activity levels during the day.

Enjoy!
