Exercise is important to help maintain good blood sugar control, but it does come at a cost. My son must check his glucose before practice/games, usually at least 1 time during and I am up several times at night making sure he does not have delayed hypoglycemia.
With diabetes, my son cannot just "play the game". He must know what his glucose is and whether or not it is at a safe level to participate. Adjustments to insulin and food are constantly being made while he is playing basketball.
Insulin is not a cure.
