Temporary basal and sport

Hello everyone!

I have a doubt, when I do sports I wear a temporary basal of -40/50% for an hour and a half before starting to bike.

My question is as follows: How long have I to put this basal before doing the exercise?

I put it on 15 min.before.

Can you advise me?

Thank you!!

What I do is to measure an hour before exercising, about 6 pm and if I am over 100 or less I already put the temporal basal and as something, but if I am higher than 150 I put the temporary basal for half an hour beforeStart and as a ration of hydrates.

Hello everyone.I have a question about this topic and I don't know very well how to do it.Let's see if those who have more experience with the bomb can help me.I am seeing that some of you begin temporary basal 1 h before exercise.In my case, I almost have to wait 3 hours to start.For example.At 4:00 p.m. (2h after food) with 134 start a temporary basal of 20% for 45min.At 17:50 I have 93, at 18.40 I have 69 ... Of course if I want to do something, in this case I almost always have to eat something, a juice or something.I start sport at 19.00 and when I finish around 20.00 I have 90, until there more or less well.The problem comes in that I have an important increase half an hour after finishing the exercise.I would not have to have to take the juice if I do not feel like it and I don't understand that rush of 20.30 in the afternoon when the temporary basal had ended more than three hours before .... I don't know if I have explained myself well,Does anyone have experience in this?Thank you so much.

Hello Erpla:
First of all, telling you that you need to adjust (you or your doctor or another person) the basal dose you use, since a temporal basal of 20% is a great reduction (-80%) and yet your blood glucose has not altered too much(and it has taken a long time);All according to your data
A temporal basal of -40/50%, as they have said, is more than enough;And above all, proof, proof and test until you achieve your goal.You will get it !!!
The most important thing in the use of an insulin bomb, is that you should not think that once you have it, you can forget the control of your diabetes;Because it is not so.The current insulin pumps are more insulin administration devices;At the moment they are not "intelligent" (they do nothing that we have not scheduled before, although everything will come [they are already in it - artificial pancreas, closed loop, ...])

Please you have to be consistent that each one is a world.
A -40/50% is more than enough?Let us be careful because for example I am forced to go well to reduce 80% one hour before doing so.
The food that is performed the days that are trained is very important, the basal reductions can vary greatly.
For example, depending on the time I take food before exercising I always put bolus, reducing depending on the time missing to start it, but I put some bolus after finishing I have peaks, also depending on the duration of the training.
Each one is a world.
By the way, the theme of closed handle pumps that you comment has no reality or foundation, because with the insulins we have today and the 15 -minute delays in the measurements of the MCG the peaks would be impressive, that is commercial themes of theLaboratories to sell and tease us, a laboratory very specialist in these "Medtronic" issues that have now run out of serve material and are having problems changing spoiled pumps and many people who have their MCG continue to pay it and are not receiving sensors, with the only explanation they answer by mail that have run out of material and do not know until when.
A laboratory that only looks for selling a product and breaks stocks for not having managed well and having dedicated themselves only to sell and treat us as number leaves much to be desired.

We need clear opinions as the previous one and that reveal a reality,

You can say x% It is good for me I do this and if I do the other then I reduce and%.But only in my case, another may be enough or not

This can guide us about how others do it but in the end we must try countless times, point and in the end take out guidelines.

It goes without saying that these guidelines being in between diabetes do not always come out the same (good or evil)

The closed handle I agree with you, as long as they do not do the fastest insulin and the interstitial measurement will also not be perfect

Thank you all for answering.
It is clear that the afternoon basal should go down a bit, although as Jconegar says it depends a lot on what commabass), but in reality my experience tells me that I program a temporary basal at 16.00 and until 19.00 it does not begin to increase the glucose level ... I do not dare to start sports until I start to climb, I do not know... Of course this is to try but hey, the experiences of those who do it usually help a lot, for that we read this forum ;-).
What do you say Jconegar that at the end you have beak?I am interested, it happens to me, half an hour after finishing (20.00 in the afternoon), it hits a climb, that has me bewildered because in theory at that time there is no trace of the reduction in the basal that I made at 16.00.
Another issue, I reduce the basal the "time that I will be doing the sport" that is, about 45 minutes, but I see that many of you do much longer reductions, is it possible that lowering the basal and staying almost withoutInsulin occurs a subsequent increase in glucose levels due to the release of glucose by the body?Could that be solved by making tougher temporal basals over time but without reducing both insulin contribution?
I feel the roll that I have put you.Thank you so much

An basal insulin reduction can affect you up to 12 hours (or more), provided that the amount of basal insulin is correctly adjusted and the reduction has not been done because of hypoglycemia.
I would reduce basal insulin a maximum of 50% and during the time that passes between: 1 hour before exercise (maximum) and 3 hours after its completion (at most).It will depend on the intensity and duration of the exercise.
But like everything, is to try, testing, testing ...

Each is a world, in our temporary case at 50% an hour before and disconnect from the pump during exercise, even if the exercise is extended more than 2 h plays to eat something, and then ... because it depends on the dayBut it is time to monitor since it must be put insulin for possible rebounds as it is not necessary to accumulate the effect of the exercise.

Hello everyone, yesterday an educator of the Medtronic bomb told us that the post-sports peak is hormonal, which is somehow "fictional" and we must not correct it with insulin.

That is not always true, be careful.Fictitious always at all, more than once will not be corrected and does not go down even, you have to see each particular case, be careful with these statements that give you.

Not to mention that each one works differently, it must be taken into account that the exercise is sometimes regular and sometimes not and of course it depends on the intensity of the exercise.It is not the same to go running half an hour than playing Squash 45 minutes or 1 hour and 30 minutes and then you have to keep in mind that in all games the same is not run, it is complicated, each one has to look for its amountsand his truquillos.
