You can plan the exercise after a meal, reduce the insulin dosage, or take extra snacks to help prevent low blood sugar during exercise. This will take some experimenting with dosages and record keeping. Your child should always carry a source of sugar at all times and have a longer lasting snack nearby. Remember, it is wise to THINK AHEAD about the day’s schedule and plan accordingly.
