Patient's question:
A 12-year-old child with diabetes, is exercising like an exercise bike suitable?Doctor's answer:
12-year-old children with diabetes are mostly type 1 diabetes, where their pancreas can no longer secrete insulin, and they mainly rely on insulin injections to maintain life.Advice: Games and exercise are natural for children, but intense exercise can cause blood sugar to drop, leading to significant fluctuations and worsening the condition. Therefore, it can be challenging to determine the appropriate exercise level for children with diabetes. If the condition is stable, light exercise can be done. Additionally, it is recommended to measure blood sugar before and after exercise to help monitor the appropriate exercise level.
