  What do you usually do before engaging in 30 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic exercise (i.e., working hard enough to raise your heart rate and break a sweat but still be able to talk)? Select all that apply, and come back tomorrow to share more about your preparation and ideals for exercise!
  In addition to a reduced basal rate and a looser icr, we put my son's pump (c:iq) in "sleep mode" so he does not receive any autoboluses.

  I should read other comments before adding this, but I haven't. It all depends on the overall circumstances, initial level of most recent BG and bolus, anticipated type of exercise and the where of it, weather, how long after opportunity to eat or otherwise correct will occur, etc etc etc. Expect the best but prepare for the worst, and always be prepared -- when I rowed regularly, I would always have a bottle of Gatorade by my feet just in case. A good glug of that could get me through 5,000 meters, not that I was talking during the race!

  I eat a meal, bolus for perhaps 15g less than the meal, turn off insulin delivery as soon as that bolus is complete, eat, wait for SG to reach about 180, exercise, turn insulin back on partway through the exercise, finish exercising, set a repeating timer to make sure I'm watching when BG rebound starts, do early correction bolus to get ahead of the process of managing the rebound (otherwise I'll go high). Not perfect, but it's the best approach I've yet found for me.

  For most exercise, such as weightlifting or using an elliptical, treadmill, or Zumba, I take my pump off and suspend delivery. When I take a walk or go running, I leave my pump on but set a temp basal.

  Earlier this year when I knew I had to lose weight I decided to go for a walk each day after lunch. I experimented with combinations of temp basals and dual wave boluses. I was dropping low no matter what. I've finally settled on leaving my basal alone and not bolusing for lunch, or bolusing a very small amount. I go for my walk and when I'm on my way back home I check my CGM. Sometimes I'll bolus then, sometimes I wait until I'm home. It all depends on what the graph is showing. Sometimes I will bolus the full amount and sometimes I will subtract a little. If I have to go somewhere in the morning I can walk for an hour without it dropping my BG, because it naturally rises once I get out of bed. I can walk to & from the drugstore or post office (an hour walk in total) and not have to worry about going low. Unfortunately, I'm not a morning person or else I;d try to do that every day. I do not eat breakfast.
