Editor's Note
I was talking about insulin use with my interns today. We were talking about the Team NovoNordisk cycling club, and they figured that these guys would never need insulin because they exercised so much. They were surprised that the riders’ glucose could climb so much with all that activity. As we discussed the reasons I pointed out the effect that can happen to all people who exercise, and why it can be a problem. Check out this week’s Disaster Averted to learn how you can help your exercising patients.

DISASTERS AVERTED — Near Miss Case Studies
A man with type 1 diabetes started an exercise program to help him manage his early morning highs. He exercised every evening, at which time his glucose levels would drop during and after exercise. Thinking that exercise would lower his early morning highs, he did not take his insulin before exercise. He was surprised to see his glucose would go up after exercise rather than go down.
