Exercise is very important for children and adolescents with diabetes. The overall effect of exercise is to lower blood sugar.
Some people complain of double vision and headaches.
She should rest for a minimum of 10 minutes to let the blood sugar return to normal. However, some children will still have a headache and may not feel like continuing. We encourage families to be prepared for insulin reactions at all times by having the proper foods available. Many people with diabetes will change their insulin dose on days they anticipate a practice or game. Again, it is very important for youth with diabetes to be involved in sports.
