GREAT POST!!! They should save it and trot it out anytime anyone asks a question on managing exercise!!!
A couple of points: You talk about lowering your basal before and after - are you on a pump? (that would be unusual in the UK). Lowering your basal temporarily is not really feasible on MDI. If I am exercising regularly (i.e. every day or at least nearly every day) I drop my Lantus by about 20%.
I prefer not to have ANY short acting on-board when I exercise (before lunch or early evening are the most convenient times). Less chance of a big unexpected drop in BG. I agree totally about aiming for a normal BG before starting. However, if I were beginning a new exercise regime I might aim at the high end of normal (?8) until I were confident about the effects.
