Conversation with Prof Terence, an athlete and a Diabetic

Bike and Save the Earth

In the AGSB Christmas party, during lunchtime, I happened to be seated beside Prof Terence of Opeman cluster who happens to have that day as his blood sugar to be 200.  He is therefore a confirmed diabetic just like me.  We discussed among other things to exercise regularly, eat food that is low in glycemic index, graze (eat small quantity during the day) take the maintenance meds regularly. Beware of hypoglycemia;  thefore eat on time.  Do not be hungry.  Always have sugar shot (chocolate or coke) ready in case you have hypoglycemic attack.

You can lead a regular and happy life even if you have diabetes if you follow the doctor's advice and take your meds regularly. And If you exercise like biking.
