[QUOTE="Juicyj, post: 2091448, member: 53162"] Hi [USER=468055]@Mel dCP[/USER] Good on you for getting out there, I started out on the Couch to 5k - I used Sarah Millican as my trainer as I love her humour and she kept me motivated. I always aim to start runs with no active insulin on board and ideally above 7mmol/l so I have a bit of leverage to play with, if out for anything less than a 30 min run then I just detach about 10-15 mins before so I don’t have it bouncing about and do a bolus when I get back depending on what my bg levels are doing, if out for an hour then I do a temp basal about an hour before I go out at 25% which lasts the duration. Obviously this may not work for you but as a guide as to what I do. I have bought a wrist pocket band from tiger tiger which I put my glucose tabs in, I rarely need them when out running but would never leave home without it. I love having a run without the pump as it’s quite liberating not having it attached, it means I can run with confidence and not worry about going low, i’d rather end up around 8-10 mmol/l and correcting than going low so that’s my goal. Generally my levels stay pretty stable during the run unless it’s hot as more likely to go low then, it’s trial and error as to what works best for you though :) [/QUOTE]
