I am struggling with going low during exercise. I am training for mountain climbing, thus do some very intense workouts twice a week 2 hours each session (very fast nordic walking and running up and down hills) easier workouts 3-4 days a week 1-2 hour each session (biking or walking) and moderate once per week (smaller mountain climbs 15-20km with elevation) On the more moderate and intense workouts, I have been purposely going high (10-10.5) before, snacking during (100-120g carbs) and still going low (3.5-5). I am on a very low dose of insulin (between 2-4 units bolus and 7 Lantus). Pre-exercise, I cut the bolus down considerably or don't take it at all. Any advice, should I also cut back on the basal?
