Before starting a new treatment, you and your child's teacher can make a checklist of the symptoms and how strong they are. It may be time to increase the dose or try a different drug. Talk to his doctor about taking a monitored break from the drug to see what happens. |
fbf2646d34e595e07d052807827e2c67 | Can people with diabetes do adventure sports? | Adventure sports like rock-climbing or scuba-diving should be safe if you're in good health aside from diabetes. Make sure to get the right training. Don't do these activities alone, because you may need help if your blood sugar gets too low (what doctors call "hypoglycemia"). Take some fast-acting carbs like a sports gel, glucose tablets, or even a tube of cake icing with you. |
38b0d35bfd486c57adf509117aba664c | How does diabetes-related nerve damage affect your risk of injury during exercise? | The kind your doctor calls "peripheral neuropathy" can make you lose feeling in your feet and toes. It can also affect your balance and raise your chances of falling. If you have it, try not to run or jump. Choose an exercise that doesn't impact your joints, like swimming. Another kind of nerve damage, autonomic neuropathy, can make you faint if you move around too fast. |

Routines that have you do the same moves over and over again can cause problems. Stiff joints can also take a toll on your balance, setting you up for a fall. |
c7891c676a78d2163cb996ddb32ede90 | Can diabetes affect your joints? | Long-term diabetes can affect them.

84eecff806b77564bd89367b36a6afbd | Can you exercise too hard if you have diabetes? | On the flipside, exercise that's too hard can raise your blood sugar by making it harder for your muscle cells to use insulin. A workout helps pump you up by causing small tears in muscle fibers. When they heal, your muscles are stronger. But if you aren't used to super-tough workouts like HIIT, they can do so much damage that days go by before you feel like moving again. During that time your muscle cells can't use insulin well, and that will boost your blood sugar. It may also rise if you skip workouts. If you're so sore you can't make your next gym session, you probably need to dial it down. There's no rush: It's better to build intensity slowly as you get used to a new routine. You're more likely to stick with it if you don't feel like you've been through the wringer. |

ac346c09723d4b2f44535cbfdbb67ad9 | Can exercising with diabetes increase your risk of eye problems? | Talk to your doctor about what to do. They're weak and often leaky. When you jump, lift heavy weights, make jarring moves, or hold your head down (as in certain yoga poses), these fragile blood vessels could bleed. If you've had a dilated eye exam in the last year, your eye doctor can tell you if the workouts you're interested in are safe. |
9c78bb87468fffb77fea1eeeeb63db36 | Are fun exercise classes okay for people with diabetes? | If you're looking for a challenge -- something new or more intense -- the latest trends may have caught your eye. You've got a bunch to choose from, like barre classes that draw on dance moves, high-intensity interval training ( HIIT) that trades hardcore bursts of exercise with more moderate moves, and flexibility-boosting yoga. If all you want to do is switch from one moderate type of exercise to another, you probably don't need to discuss it with your doctor. |
