[QUOTE="Ray B, post: 2261237, member: 22340"] Hi Bishop, I have spent my whole life enjoying sport including marathon running, football even body building and at 74 with lifelong Type 1, I currently teach Pilates. I have had some scary moments where I have had a hypo during matches and whilst running and cycling. However, if you are competing at a good level you will no doubt be involved in regular training programs and this is where I used to gain experience to get the insulin/carb balance correct. For me I found a long bike ride or run I would reduce my background insulin by one mark and quick acting by at least half dose. I used jelly babies as my carbohydrate input if needed as a quick boost and to stay safe. When I am teaching pilates for two hour sessions I eat seeded brown bread before my classes for slow input carbs. I do believe that you will gain experience and confidence over time and get to know what works best for yourself. Keep up your sport and good luck. It has worked for me over my 74 years with Type 1.
