To continue enjoying your activities,
and still keep a healthy balance there are some basic rules to follow:
1. First of all : Control your blood sugar level: before, during and after your activity
to learn more about yourself.
Take note of everything in a booklet: blood sugar level, length of your
activity, weather, meal.. And study these results.
Speak with your doctor or your specialist if a problem comes up.
EIf
you register under 1.50, plan to add some sugar to reach 1.50 allowing
you to begin your activity at a correct level (3 pieces of sugar
= +0.50g)0g)
2.
Meals: Eat reasonably and with a balanced diet, especially following your
activity.
Don't be afraid to control your weight.

carry a cookie or fruit paste with you + water. (3 sugars = +0.50 g). Don't
forget to drink, before, during and after your activity
