We don't have PE at school yet, but for his tae kwon do class (which is 30 minutes of intense physical activity we do a 2 hour 50% basal decrease starting a half hour before the activity. For his old soccer team, we couldn't decrease insulin during practice because his coach was so intense that Liam went high from adrenaline, then dropped later. New soccer team, similar to the tae kwon do routine. On extra active days at school, we just have them give him about 10 extra carbs before he goes out. <br />We're intermittently in and out of honeymoon land- which is fun- and I as much of a pain as it can be, I also dread the days where I will be thankful for what his body is doing now. :)Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16615384441250315342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2764588370752816542.post-3015590378418686322010-10-13T23:51:27.082-04:002010-10-13T23:51:27.082-04:00We've been lucky this year.

In years past, when PE has been after lunch, the nurse would look at his pre-lunch BG, and then reduce his insulin, if needed, taking PE into account.<br /><br />BTW, Jack went from a 31 to 286 in 15 minutes today. Then 30 minutes later, he was back down to 90.

Once before lunch and once after lunch.<br /><br />We leave out 10 carbs.<br /><br />So I'll give her breakfast on AM PE days and leave 10 carbs off what I enter into the pump -- the school nurse does the same thing for lunch on PM PE days.<br /><br />It works really well for us :)<br /><br />The only thing that keep popping into my brain is that Sugar was only dropping to the 60's...if we were having those 20's and 30's, I may be inclined to make it a 20 carb cushion.<br /><br />Keep up the good work!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16704298016041843194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2764588370752816542.post-88400769040994635182010-10-13T01:07:51.862-04:002010-10-13T01:07:51.862-04:00We don't lower basals for PE...but that can ch...We don't lower basals for PE...but that can change quickly...as can everything with diabetes. Constant changes are part of the mind numbing battle. That is one of the cruelest parts of diabetes...trial and error. Learning from what we preceive to be our mistakes...when really it is diabetes just being the monster it is. We learn from what it throws at us. You learned something about the monster today...and your daughter is safe. sure she didn't feel THAT low...but she felt low...and that is huge!Merihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09752883120541646427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2764588370752816542.post-70837910502172212932010-10-12T20:00:30.761-04:002010-10-12T20:00:30.761-04:00Hey Pam - Welcome to the 'Out of the Honeymoon...Hey Pam - Welcome to the 'Out of the Honeymoon' club! I know, I know, you didn't want to join (but I am sure glad you are here with me!) No need to be embarrassed or anything like that sister - we have all been there at some point on this journey.<br /><br />Funny thing PE class. My Grace has it right after lunch, so she does her check after lunch. Right now, we lower her basal by 40% for 1 hour after lunch. It seems to bring her in good range so far. Then again, they are inside for PE class now that it's colder outside. Once they hit the Spring, I usually hit the basal by -50% for an hour.<br /><br />It always keeps us on our toes, doesn't it? <br />Hugs and love to our counterparts :0)Pennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11137611120689810820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2764588370752816542.post-27556776730155908702010-10-12T19:28:05.564-04:002010-10-12T19:28:05.564-04:00Hi Pam...we have been having some PE issues this y...Hi Pam...we have been having some PE issues this year. Joe has PE at 8:40 in the morning. So I had been having the nurse check Joe at 8:35 and he was going to get 15grams of carbs if he is 80-140. Even if he goes into PE at a 330...he has been going low. So what I started doing is decreasing his basal one hour before PE by 30%...and the basal decrease goes for 2 hours. I think I need to up the percentage of the decrease. I did think about cutting down on his breakfast insulin, but I don't like that he is already in the 300s pre-PE...hence the basal decrease attempt. It is such a crap-shoot sweetie.

We do not have PE everyday, so I don't know how I would lower the basal just for that time.

When I swim, I don't bolus for my breakfast and I cut back my basal rate by 70 percent. When I walk, I cut my basal rate in 1/2. <br />The fact that your aware that things have changed is half the battle!<br />Hang in there girl!!<br />Kelly Kk2https://www.blogger.com/profile/04167099133092135850noreply@blogger.com
