Hi everyone. I am in a bit of a rut at the moment, and I hope you can help me out. I've recently decided that I hate how I've been treating myself. Long story short, I've joined a gym, and I have…Continue

acidrock23 replied to Verity's discussion 'Insulin Pump and exercise'"I think Tony Horton, etc. would be more anaerobic and may push your BG up a bit. It may help to test and be ready to correct. I usually cover that sort of thing with a 200% basal for 1/2 hour and it works ok."
IChoose replied to Verity's discussion 'Insulin Pump and exercise'"I am on 50% basil for 4 hours, but start it an hour before I work out...none during (I swim) and for 2 hours after. This seems to be working without any major lows."
Stacey Livitski replied to Verity's discussion 'Insulin Pump and exercise'"I have just started working out on a daily bases and am having a heck of a time with keeping my bg's in range. I am on a pump and need a little advice as well. I am doing a combination of excercises, using a little bit of Tony Horton and Shaun…"
Tami replied to Verity's discussion 'Insulin Pump and exercise'"Thanks Erik sounds like something I could try!"
Buckley83 replied to Verity's discussion 'Insulin Pump and exercise'"Well when I exercise these days I just disconnect from the pump for up to 90 mins.
I then has a bolus as soon as I finish exercising.
I have tried dialing down basal 50% etc.
But I am doing a lot of HITT and Tabata style training at the moment and I…"
Nyadach replied to Verity's discussion 'Insulin Pump and exercise'"Personally I'm running in the next to nothing on basal's when doing something (10-15% region depending on what it is for how long). How I got there was lot's of trial and error though. Started by using an 80% temp to no effect, then…"
Karen replied to Verity's discussion 'Insulin Pump and exercise'"Exercise is an amazing thing I always feel better afterwards, but it takes a lot of energy, thought, planning to do it now with the pump. My basal is way low for three hours in the p.m. .025 and I still struggle. Somehow I feel like it is not fair…"
acidrock23 replied to Verity's discussion 'Insulin Pump and exercise'"I think 1/2 hour will make you healthier. That's about all I exercise about 90% of the time, I just do longer runs and bike rides on the weekends and, occasionally, 40-50 minutes when I can find time and/ or the weather is inspirational which…"
Karen replied to Verity's discussion 'Insulin Pump and exercise'"Exercise terrifies me as well since I started pumping, actually any type of movement I can go low.
I don't exercise on a bolus for sure. The best time for me is when I come home from work, I eat 15 carbs and I am okay for about 1/2 and…"
acidrock23 replied to Verity's discussion 'Insulin Pump and exercise'"Maybe T'ai Chi? I was pretty inactive until I tried Tae Kwon Do but the spiritual aspect of it and keep trying while making incremental progress aspect of it appealed to me and engaged me quite a bit. I'm not sure it's exactly the…"
acidrock23 replied to Verity's discussion 'Insulin Pump and exercise'"The chart here is pretty useful and I keep the numbers (there's only 9...) in my head. The basic idea is that you turn your basal down to the %age depending on how intense and how long you intend to work out:
It can also work for eating, as a…"
Spock replied to Verity's discussion 'Insulin Pump and exercise'"I hate to admit this, but exercise TERRIFIES me. Everytime I try to get active, I serious;y suffer for days, as does my husband. It is always not pretty. Just talked to my doc about it and he just said to start...but he is not the one suffering or…"
Erik replied to Verity's discussion 'Insulin Pump and exercise'"I have been back to the gym pretty regularly lately, and this is the routine that works for me...
I am usually slightly above target BG in the morning, and I bolus 1st thing when I wake. When I am nearly ready to workout, I eat my breakfast (half a…"
