Illnesses that can keep of doing sports
Diabetes
Diabetes is generated when the pancreas is not able to produce the necessary amount of insulin. This hormone is responsible for transporting glucose from the blood to the cells and, therefore, to maintain a correct level of it in blood.
This disease is not an impediment to the practice of physical exercise. The energy expenditure decreases the glycemia and, as a consequence, the need for insulin. However, it is essential to follow some advice for practicing exercise in case of diabetes:
- Know in advance the intensity and duration of the physical effort that is expected.
- Apply the necessary corrections in the feeding and insulin dose.
- Intensify controls to avoid a crisis of hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia.
