You talk about lowering your basal before and after - are you on a pump?

no I'm on MDI - I've split my Levemir, I take it at 12 noon and 9pm. So if I'm riding the next day, and expect a long hard ride. I will slacken back the 9pm by a couple of units. I may wake a touch high, but that should sort itself once I get going. If it's been a hard ride I will also step back the 12noon injection. This helps lessen the impact of those nasty post exercise hypos.

hope this clarifies things.
