I have just listened and watched the Medtronic webinar on dealing with exercise in Smartguard.
Two years ago we were told ‘don’t lie to the pump, and to enter all carbs’. I developed my own strategies over the last two years, and now find that a lot of these were mentioned today. It feels good to have had the strategies included and also many other ideas. They showed us an exercise protocol which would be very useful If anyone downloaded it and can share it here.

I would definitely recommend anyone in Smartguard seeing the presentation.
It was excellent.
 
Anyone? It certainly does sound like it would be jolly useful for anyone relevant - @everydayupsanddowns is this something which you or DUK themselves could get access to for wider benefit?
 
These links are with reference to the 780, but the general principles may help on others although how to make the changes will vary with different pumps.

The presentation which includes working in manual mode and in Smartguard ( Medtronic’s name for closed loop) https://qrco.de/bdohuh

This is the summary of changes to make for exercise (which can be anything that could cause you r glucose levels to drop, eg gardening, housework, …) https://qrco.de/bdKy98

The same info as a flow chart (my preference) https://qrco.de/bdKy6a
 
Thanks @SB2015

Will check those out later 🙂
