Benefits of exercises for diabetic children BENEFITS OF EXERCISES FOR DIABETIC CHILDREN
You may need less insulin when you are active
Strenuous exercise also increases the efficiency of insulin, so that when people take regular exercise they may be able to have a lower insulin dose than when they are inactive. Some children - especially those who play vigorous sport - find they need to reduce the dose on days of intense physical training or sport. Knowing how much to reduce the dose comes from your own experience, but discuss it with your doctor if you play sport.
The effect of exercise on the action of insulin may last for many hours (up to 12 hours) afterwards. Thus, someone may have a hypo in the evening after playing sport in the afternoon. It is wise to do an extra blood test before bed if there has been strenuous and unusual exercise during the day. Have extra carbohydrate if the test is low.
The blood glucose level may occasionally rise with sport
Some young people with diabetes find that their blood glucose values rise after sport even though they may have a hypo some hours later. This could be due to taking too much extra carbohydrate before the sport but there is another possible
The body needs energy for exercise and during the intense activity of competitive sport, glucose is released into the bloodstream to provide this energy. This may be in part due to the adrenalin that is released when the body is keyed up for sport. The release of extra glucose may be greater than the body's need. This could account for the rise in blood glucose values for some people after sport.
Strenuous exercise may be unwise if diabetes control is poor
If blood glucose levels are high and ketones are present in the urine, strenuous exercise may make diabetic control worse. Before embarking on any strenuous sporting activity be sure your diabetes control is satisfactory. This is particularly important for prolonged exercise as the risk of dehydration will increase.
