. Larsson, Y. (Department of Pediatrics, University Hospital, Linköping, Sweden). Physical exercise and juvenile diabetes.—Summary and conclusions. Acta Paediatr Scand, Suppl. 283: 120, 1980.—The various metabolic effects of physical exercise in ketotic diabetics, non‐ketotic diabetics and non‐diabetics are summarized. A favorable metabolic effect is only observed during optimal insulin administration, while in ketotic diabetics exercise may aggravate the metabolic situation. The use of exercise as a tool in the routine treatment of young diabetics is described. Activity‐produced hypoglycemia should be prevented through an adequate food intake and through patient education. Regular exercise may postpone the appearance of diabetic microangiopathy.
