What I found helpful was to adjust my mealtime insulin dose downward to leave me at an elevated blood glucose number +1hr after my meal. Then I exercise strenuously for 1/2 hour either a very fast walk, weightlifting or body-resistance type workouts. My pre-exercise readings are usually 190-210 or so, and I burn down about 90 points in a 1/2 hour exercise session, whichever type it is.

Some people get increases in BG readings from extreme exercises, but it doesn't seem to affect me that way. Try my method and see if it works for you - remember to always have some fast-acting carbs with you, and test a lot ! I'm not familiar with your particular insulin's action - I take Lantus for my basal dose, and fast-acting Humalog for mealtimes.
