Abstract:
Type 1 diabetes is a chronic disease with hyperglycemia (high or very high blood sugar) due to a lack of insulin. Type 1 diabetes is treated with insulin, often with several injections a day. In people with type 1 diabetes, blood sugar levels change during physical activity, mainly due to blood insulin levels. Because insulin levels are often higher during diabetes than in non-diabetes, the effects of treatment during exercise can easily lead to hypoglycemia. The tendency for hypoglycemia may continue for several hours after exercise. However, this risk can be avoided by planning diet and insulin doses in addition to exercise and exercise can most likely be reduced.
