your gatorade trick did the trick no more lows at the gym...for the past month i havent had a low at the gym, its beautiful lol

Had the same problem with lows during exercise (not intense just walking 2-3 miles). I have now used the options of temporary basals for the exercising and that works well but it also took some practice to get it right. If only my pancreas would work I wouldn't have to do all this fun stuff....LOL

Hi Gina,

I am new to this site, but not so new to diabetes. I also workout and use an insulin pump. I have found that eating something high in protien (even a little fat) helps me keep a constant blood sugar level. I usually don't suspend my pump during a workout (because I kayak and it takes several hours) but I do set a temporary basal rate and then eat protien. The protien takes longer for your body to metabolise and seems to keep your blood sugar constant. Hope this helps a little.....(and nice to meet you)


P.S. Peanut butter on celery is one of my favorite workout foods.
