Exercise lead to more rapid absorption of insulin under the skin and therefore we expect the strength in the effect of insulin in lowering blood sugar. Therefore the patient must avoid violent exercise using muscles near the injection site. For example, if the patient is practiced table tennis (table tennis), he can inject insulin under the skin in a thighs.
And advise the patient eat cup fruit juice of sugar-free before the start of sport and carries glucose tablets in his pocket or a small bottle of honey bees to eat, if they feel symptoms of low blood sugar because the sport has a strong influence in reducing the level of sugar in the blood.
To the Editor: The article by Koivisto and Felig in the January 12 issue of the Journal provides further evidence that exercising the region in which insulin is given subcutaneously increases its rate of absorption and consequent glucose-lowering effects. This action has been shown in dogs,1 rats2 and man.3 4 5 In new diabetic patients without insulin antibodies, we documented an exercise-related twofold to threefold rise in circulating immunoreactive insulin.3 , 4 This elevation caused a fall in glycemia from a constant base-line value, owing to decrease in hepatic glucose production, and inhibition of the normal increase in fat-derived substrate levels. Glycemia remained constant . . .
