"Activity Mode" sets temporary targets that are higher than your normal targets, so you will want to set these with knowledge of how different activity affects your BGs. You're doing essentially the same things as with Eating Soon Mode, but instead of setting a *lower* target to increase IOB, you're setting a *higher* target to provide a "cushion" to avoid a low that may occur as a result of the activity you're planning. With a higher target, if connected to the internet so your rig knows about it, it will only do temps with the temporary high target, to provide that 'cushion'. You may want to consider setting activity mode *prior* to activity, in order to reduce the peak net IOB you have on board when activity commences. (Example would be setting activity mode to 140 mg/dL (7.8 mmol/L) one hour before you go for a hard run after dinner, to help reduce the impact of any meal time insulin that would otherwise be peaking at the time. You may still have to do carbs or other strategies to fully prevent lows, but this is one approach to help - as is being aware of net IOB going into any type of activity.)

Once you have a good idea of how you would set those parameters for your system, you'll be ready to set some temprary targets. You can test this out manually by entering a temporary target using [Care Portal](http://www.nightscout.info/wiki/faqs-2/wifi-at-school/nightscout-care-portal) in Nightscout. You'll see your temporary target appear as a grey bar in Nightscout, spanning the length of the time frame you entered. You can also cancel the temporary targets via Care Portal.

When you're ready to use this regularly, you can also configure IFTTT to trigger a temporary basal from your Pebble/Apple Watch, etc, or via an [Alexa skill](https://github.com/nightscout/cgm-remote-monitor#alexa-amazon-alexa). You'll find a breakdown of how to use IFTTT on the next page.
