What Does Insulin Do?
Normal glucose metabolism + Skeletal Muscle Liver Glucose + Fat Pancreas Insulin Glucose and other nutrients GI Tract Adapted from Cell, Vol 97, 9-12
Normal glucose metabolism Fasting Brain Ketone bodies + Free fatty acids + Skeletal Muscle Liver Fat Glucose Pancreas Adapted from Cell, Vol 97, 9-12
Normal glucose metabolism − Brain Ketone bodies − Amino acids − Triglyceride + Free fatty acids − Skeletal Muscle Liver Glucose + Fat Pancreas Insulin Glucose and other nutrients GI Tract Adapted from Cell, Vol 97, 9-12
Insulin BASAL AND BOLUS Regulate hepatic glucose production Prevent ketone production Equivalent to ~ ½ of daily insulin requirement Bolus: Prevent postprandial hyperglycemia

CSII vs MDI Lower HbA1c Lower prevalence of severe hypoglycemia 0.5% improvement Lower prevalence of severe hypoglycemia 60-70% reduction Less glucose variability
Exercise and Glucose Normal glucose (70 – 120) “The Goal” Hypoglycemia (Low glucose) Lack of carbohydrate Insulin excess Increased insulin sensitivity Muscle glucose uptake independent of insulin Hyperglycemia (High glucose) Excess carbohydrate Insulin deficiency Stress/Nervousness
Exercise Intensity Moderate - Sustained High - Short Duration Aerobic Tend to cause low glucose Activities: Running Cycling Swimming Soccer High - Short Duration Anaerobic Tend to cause high glucose Activities: Sprinting Power lifting Hockey

Where Should Diabetes Care Be Provided? Diabetes care should be provided wherever your child is on campus, on the school bus, and at off-campus activities. If the parent requests it and the treating physician authorizes it, the child will be permitted to check his or her blood glucose level and to otherwise provide diabetes self-care in the: classroom, in any area of the school or school grounds, during any school-related activity, upon specific request by the parent, in a private location
