Diabetes mellitus and sports.
The adolescent with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) can safely participate in sports activities without interference from the disease. To ensure safe and successful participation, clinicians must appreciate how diabetes may alter the physiologic adaptation to strenuous exercise and how an individualized self-care plan can empower the adolescent with IDDM to effectively manage meal planning, blood glucose testing, and insulin injections. Various types of insulin, insulin schedules, and insulin delivery devices that may suit a wide variety of training and activity regimens are described.[1]References
