Hey /fit/.

I've been diabetic for the past 3 years, and I've seem to keep it under control. Anyways, I've been joining sports at my local high school (in b4 underage b&), and one of the few things I can never keep control of is my energy. Sometimes I'll feel like shit, sometimes I feel GOOD.

So how does a diabetic feeling good during practice? I want to get rid of those days where I feel shitty, and I'm positive that it has something to do with being diabetic.

Picture unrelated.

I'm diabetic. Its all about keeping your sugar at a normal range. When your sugar range is way overboard you'll feel shitty and exhausted. When your sugar is under control you'll feel great, have energy, etc.

This is for diabetes II though, I have no knowledge of insulin dependent diabetes I.

In general though, the better control you have over your sugar, the better you'll feel. Right now I can keep it at a normal range throughout the day, 90-120, its also under better control on the days I workout.

Check your doctor though, thats the only way you can be totally sure.

Hmm, my Doctor told me to keep it at a 70 - 90. Is that too low?

I'm no doctor, but 70 would be too low for me. Everyone is different though, I'd recheck with your doctor... did you hear it wrong?

There's 2 ends of the spectrum - high blood sugar and low blood sugar, low blood sugar is infact more dangerous in the shorterm than HBS. I'd seriously check with your doctor again, keep records of what your Bloodsugar is doing, especially on the days you feel shitty. I have no idea how bad or good your diabetes is, but definitely clear up whats too low and whats too high and the range you should be in (with your activity level, weight, etc.) Only he/she can give you an educated answer.

LBS can lead to unconsciousness and death, whereas HBS longterm damages your organs, blood vessels, etc. and diabetic coma.
