I test before I train to see what my BS is at then test when I'm finished and again two hrs afterwards after I have had my recovery meal, this gives me a chance to adjust my insulin if required. When I transferred over onto the pump I found that I went hypo during sleep as the recovery process was beginning in earnest, so I have to run a lower Temp Basal rate to ensure no bad hypo's. I have found that my BS lowers considerably after really heavy training such as deadlifts, squats and heavy shoulder workouts. You will find that the more you test before and after training , this will give you an indicator of what adjustments to your regime you have to make.Good Luck in the strength stakes!!!</blockquote>
