[QUOTE="sugar2, post: 174517, member: 6681"] Like Sam...I reduce my basal about an hour before exercise if i can...but it does depend on what my BG is at the time. Not sure why you would bolus, and then turn your basal down to 0..unless you ate a big carby breakfast? I am insulin sensitive as well...and to be honest, all I can do is what seems appropriate at the time eg. About to exercise in an hour...test, and BG is say 10, I would do a very small bolus...retest in 1/2 an hour, and then adjust basal accordingly. About to exercise, test BG its say, 5...turn down basal to about 20% and exercise an hour later. About to exercise, BG is 3.5....eat some glucose tablets, turn down bolus accordingly...test again before exercise in case I had gone too far. Not saying thsi is what you should do at all...just I find it interesting to see what other people do, as it gives me ideas about what to try. [/QUOTE]
