  1. John, thanks for the entertaining video and the great guidelines. The advice is much more relatable when in context of real-life activities. Found the 90min 'windows' especially useful and it makes good sense to aim for that >180min window. Just one clarification - if our teenager does find herself exercising (hockey game) in that 1st 90min window what would you propose by way of a bolus reduction? 50%? She's on 30U TDD and that meal would be 50gCHO or 6 unit insulin. Though as you say, we will try to postpone that big meal or have it earlier.
    So, thanks for the detail and for all these posts - great resource.
