| Ok, I know this sounds dumb but I am new to diabetes. My 12 yr old son is a type 1 diabetic (dx 8 months ago) and he had basketball practice every morning at 6am. He does not or will not eat anything prior to practice & his sugars are usually 110-140. After practice he is 160-250 and then he eats at the school and takes his insulin. We always thought that this was OK but should he take insulin prior to practice too? He does not want to eat before practice since he runs so much and does not want to get sick. |
