Physical exercise and insulin dependent diabetes in the young: general approaches

L Pinelli et al. Indian J Pediatr. 1989 Nov-Dec.

Abstract

Exercise is worth while for general health and well being; and is beneficial and safe for the young with IDDM as well. The patient must learn to adapt to insulin and/or diet, attending education and training program. The many examples of world-class athletes and participants in the Olympic Games with diabetes serve as impressive evidence that in spite of being dependent on insulin, they are able to participate successfully and without complications in physical activities and high-performance sports.
