[QUOTE="Julian_Hands, post: 1339170, member: 324327"] I'm happy to share data after extensive work I also am carrying out with the effects of sport with my diabetes. I agree with earlier posts that those who have the access to CGM and pump technology have already the solution in their hands, those who really struggle (especially like me) are the majority who are unable to use algorithms for their basal control and are stuck in the 24hr loop once their (in my case Lantus) basal has been injected yet may have exercise patterns that are irregular and get severe hypoglycaemic effects due to the basal rate required. I'm currently using an Accu Check Aviva Expert meter to control my bolus(Novorapid) levels with close carb counting. But there is very little public detail available for the effects of sport (in my case cycling) and the basal rates to take. As an example. If I commute to work 4 times a week on my bike (30km hilly each way,60km per day) the the first day I need to reduce my basal level the night before by 10%, if I continue the following day I need to reduce by 20%, on the third day if I continue to commute back to back days I need to reduce my basal levels by a further 10%, now 30% total reduction, due to recovery and my body replenishing glucose to the muscle groups. I have to test virtually hourly to ensure my levels are maintained and often end up snacking to ensure I maintain my ranges with glucose. The NHS In the UK doesn't support CGM technology and pumps are hard to obtain, but more support is defiantly needed, especially for individuals who wish an active and unexpected activity lifestyle, yet get held back severely by their insulin regimes that they have very little ability to adjust once taken the night before.
