The quarterback for the Denver Broncos is a diabetic, Jay Cutler!. Exercise is good for controlling your diabetes!. Talk to your doctor about regulating your blood sugar during intense exercise!. He or she will likely tell you to eat something before you exercise and to check your blood levels afterward!. Www@Answer-Health@Com
Absolutely, you just have to make sure take some jelly beans, sweet drink and snack with you, so if your sugar levels drop you can stop and eat these!. Also make sure your coach and team mates know your a diabetic, so they can help you as soon as you feel a hypo coming on!.
