Diabetes affects the way your body processes sugars to form energy. In a normal healthy person our body releases its own insulin to convert the sugars into a usable form. A diabetic person measures their blood sugar and takes the required amount of insulin to use those sugars (foods) eaten. The problem lies in an athlete uses different amounts of energy at different times, especially football! Thus it is VERY difficult to determine the amount of insulin needed so an athlete can perform.
