Physical Education

This post is about the dreaded thing that some of us hate to do in school and that is Physical Education or as you may know it better as P.E.

For Diabetics doing P.E is hard because when you do a lot of exercise at once that you are not used to then you have a risk of your blood sugars dropping.

I know this because it has happened to me during P.E in High School I found that my blood sugars dropped more then they did in Primary School, that's because it was more strenuous, it was because instead of doing things like dancing we started doing a full football games for a whole hour.

It was hard because I would have to leave and go sort myself out by either having some sort of sugared drink or by having some food, this did bring up questions from people and they just couldn't understand what was happening and I knew that I never could. After about a  month of doing this I decided that I was going to try something new, I was going to have something before I started doing P.E.

This did help and I found it a lot easier and it did help me to stop my blood sugars going down, what i found helpful was that I watched what every non diabetic was drinking and got that so people wouldn't ask any questions.

Next week I will be talking about socialising with friends.
