[QUOTE="Juicyj, post: 2067651, member: 53162"] Hello [USER=508139]@Tegan97[/USER] I pump using the 640g, I would recommend increasing your activity rates as the best way to lose weight, however you need to be comfortable either adjusting your ratios or having regular contact with your nurse to review. The issue with increasing activity levels is the risk of hypo, so taking advice before you embark on any regime would be wise. I run/cycle and swim but do a few things depending on exercise, I either take a 50% bolus on the meal before I exercise or I put a temp basal pattern on for the duration of the exercise, usually starting 30 mins before I start, When I started exercising a few years back I started off slowing/gently to see how my body performed and have increased intensity and time of exercise since. My requirements are different to yours or anyone elses, but gaining confidence over time has told me that if I start with bg levels above 7 and apply a reduction in bolus or a temp basal, that I can manage the exercise fine, I also monitor carefully for the following 24 hours too as muscles can deplete glucose stores whilst repairing afterwards.
