Usually you would change your basal dose for exercising and if your BSL is a little low prior too exercise, eat something. You really need to know what you are doing before messing around with basal doses though. I would hope with a pump you know what you are doing. Diet is all the usual things.
There is a girl on opendiary who has a pump and is trying to lose weight through diet and exercise. She is also trying Symlin. If you go to opendiary.com her username is insulinaddict - she is probably more help than me.
Good luck

I am type1, I follow weight watchers If u eat right and count ur points. u can lose. I like to walk the trac. u have to get ur metabolism where it should be in order to lose. I am allowed to eat 20 points in order for me to keep my metabolisim right I will only eat 18 points, I weight 142 pounds, now I weight 130 and once u learn everything u can learn to maintain ur weight. Its not easy, you ar still hungry, My menu for a basic day is 1 slice toast with peanut butter, at 10am I will have half of banana, at 1:00 I will have a salad and a cup of soup, for dinner I will have meat veg baked potato, use fist portions. I drink iced tea homemade no sugar. inless I go low after dinner, I will not eat anything after 7. I hope this helps. good luck.

I'm type1 with a pump and am currently losing weight. So far I've lost 20 lbs. but it's been slow going but steady. I think weight watchers is a good idea but I've found it's a combination of working with my dr. closely as well as watching my intake, I do a temp basal down to 80% when I go walking so I don't have a low then eat more - that's very frustrating! I think the biggest thing I've learned is that it is the slow, steady progress that really counts. It's not easy but you can do it!!
