Nacho: "I'm diabetic and play in Madrid"

Discipline.Nacho is a clear example that a chronic disease is not the beginning of the end of anything.It is a matter of being rigorous in habits and being well advised by professionals.

If I write that José Ignacio Fernández Iglesias (Alcalá de Henares 1990) is diabetic, everyone who reads this will shrug without recognizing the person in question.

On the other hand, if I say Nacho, the defense that looks number 6 of the first team of Real Madrid, the thing changes.This week he has gone to the forefront by revealing in an interview that, about to leave football due to diagnostic diabetes at age 12.Nothing is further from reality.

Advised by his endocrine, Nacho acknowledges that he is a person who takes great care in his meals and habits, both food and rest, much more than any of his companions, however, that allows him to pay to the highest level, such asProfessional football in the best team in the world, without having a greater number of injuries than their classmates or suffering ups and dickens due to sugar or decrease in sugar.

Nacho is an example for all those people for whom, a chronic disease is not the beginning of the end of anything.It is a matter of being disciplined, rigorous in habits and being well advised by the appropriate specialists.

Taking care of meals and rest, you can pay to the highest level as your classmates

Diabetes is probably the only disease in which there is a very clear relationship between the type of nutrition and food, the medication that the patient has prescribed (either insulin or type 1 or oral antidiabetics, type 2), and theexercise that has been recommended.If we know the effect that each of them has on the patient, we will be able to achieve an adequate blood sugar level, being able to vary it depending on modifying any of the aforementioned parameters.

What exercise is recommended?

-Tomar control.It is very important that the child takes control of his illness and medication and learns the management of medication as well as the hygienic-dietary measures that this entails.

I hope you donate huge amounts of money to research on the cure.

I would like to know his routine in the games, in principle unless he approaches the band to drink something, he is 45 minutes doing attempt without taking anything, and I do not think he has.Dexcom uses almost certain.

With a team of doctors and money everything is easier, but still has a lot of merit to have become professional with this handicap.

Safe bomb does not carry, it would be a danger, if it does not break it in a fall, a partner is started, but since you would interest how you do to play those 45 minutes.

Thanks for the message see this encourages me

And a good continuous meter for all

Well, apparently more than one if he wears a bomb.Recently I saw another one that also came out in some means, but I have not found it, but this: Link insulina/

It seems incredible taking into account that of races, grabs and pushes.But I suppose he will have his system and he is doing well.

Very tendentious article, he says he plays in the best team in the world ... :))

Out jokes, congratulate him for competing in the elite with the backpack in tow.I smelled his ... balls

In the pumps the basal dose can be lowered during the time that the exercise lasts, and it can be taken well fixed to the body with the appropriate device.I think it can carry it perfectly

@"Maria Elena" I do not know if you have ever played football but I already tell you that you cannot take a bomb no matter how fixed it is to the body or mcg for all kinds of grabs, falls and tickets that occur during a gameAnd more at this competitive level, in the first corner all the devices would be skipped ...

@"SIGSAUER" Have you seen the link I shared a little higher?That man seems to have a bomb.No idea how they are managing ...

Well, I do not know but I know people with a bomb in contact sports that obviously to practice them is disconnected and in football although it is not a martial or boxing art there are many contacts.- Without counting on the express prohibition of playing bleeding etc, etc.

The continuous meter can be carried in any sport, the bomb or idea.

My dexcom receives kicks, punches, grabs, falls ... of everything, and there it continues.

Well, I see it very easy.He wears a bomb, but instead of lowering the basal, when he has a game he takes it off and out.Knowing how you are before starting exercise I think you can do it well.Think that these people are not like us, Nacho will have an endocrine almost 24 hours a day at their disposal.A level of control that we do not know.

And I could also carry omnipod, something that I have already proven that it is out of ecnonomic reach but not yours.

My child likes football .... I will use it for motivating positively .... Although my child is the bad thing in his team, it doesn't matter, what I want is to do sports and Real Madrid is a great motivator!!!!

I could carry pump perfectly, nothing happens to remove it for an hour by adjusting the bowling, even McG if it takes it well protected, I suppose not the receiver during the game.
But above all it is a great example of overcoming for our little ones.

What we pursue with this treatment is to imitate the functioning of the pancreas of a person without diabetes.In fact, this is the most physiological therapy since it infuses insulin continuously.

The pump will provide insulin continuously 24 hours a day.This is known as "perfusion or basal rate."The amount of insulin to be infused is previously scheduled by the diabetological equipment, the patient and/or his family based on the blood glucose controls.In no case will the pump itself decide the amount of insulin that will be administered.The basal rate can be modified up to every 30 minutes.

In addition, the infusor will allow us to supply a greater amount of insulin every time we eat.It is the "insulin bowling."Bowling are not only going to be used to cover meals, but also used to correct hyperglycemia.

Well, I played many years being diabetic to the border in competition and I managed, I have been pump and play to the Squasch, which is very intense, you sweat a lot and the wear is brutal, I also reap them, yes, yes,The pump exercise has nothing to do with punctures, it is much simpler, but always very careful.

Even so, it is impossible not to have any problem from time to time, but well, the change and point is requested, if it is a team sport, and if it is individual, you retire, as when one hurts or injures, if youYou put high sugar bet to avoid hypoglycemia you run out before because that sugar does not happen to the body and if it gives you a hypoglycemia, forget about continuing to play, we will be realistic, it can be, but not with the same tranquility as anyone and always with some with someLimitation (waiting time between matches, having to take something during the game, do some control, etc. but a lotnose.

Diabetes is probably the only disease in which there is a very clear relationship between the type of nutrition and food, the medication that the patient has prescribed (either insulin or type 1 or oral antidiabetics, type 2), and theexercise that has been recommended.If we know the effect that each of them has on the patient, we will be able to achieve an adequate blood sugar level, being able to vary it depending on modifying any of the aforementioned parameters.

What exercise is recommended?

Everything will depend on the characteristics of the athlete and the type of diabetes it presents.There are two types of diabetes, type 1 diabetes, also called diabetes insulin depediente, which requires sugar treatment and adjustment by injected insulin.It is usually in young, thin people, that although they eat imports of food, they do not gain weight but quite the opposite, they lose it;The other type of diabetes is type 2 or non -insulin dependent.They are more typical of older people and associated with other conditions such as overweight.

The patient may control it by diet and exercise to reduce weight as well as oral antidiabetics that are taken several times a day.

In the event that with all these measures, glycemia are not satisfactorily controlled, the patient is treated with insulin or, sometimes, with insulin and pills together.When the exercise we are going to perform, it is assumed that it will be intense, we recommend an intake of carbohydrates (bread, fruit, pasta, cookies ...) that must be ingested at least 3 hours before the beginning of it.

If this activity is long as a walk or a game, it is very important to manage liquids every 60 minutes during exercise that have glucose, fructose or sucrose content, like any isotonic drink.The object is this measure is the rapid replacement of liquids, electrolytes such as postassium, and sugars that are consumed during sports activity.

In general, the most suitable sport for diabetic are aerobics such as walking, cycling or swimming.Yes ok,A well -controlled diabetes is not contraindication for performing any sporting activity.

However, there are sports that are contraindicated in this type of patients: they are all those in which an eventual decrease in sugar endangers the life of the person.Among others we find underwater fishing, motocross or paratrooper.In all of them, a fainting caused by the decrease in blood sugar can have fatal consequences.Nor are repeated contact sports such as boxing or martial arts recommended due to the possibility of having a vascular lesion or a wound, or a bruise on the puncture site.

There are recommendations that we have to follow when injecting insulin.This must be injected into sites away from the areas that can be received.

In the case of football players, we must avoid puncture on the thighs.The reason is that a blow that is received in an area where we have administered insulin, causes an increase in vascularization in the area that has received it, and a bruise will form.

This increase in vascular irrigation will cause faster absorption of insulin administered, which will undoubtedly lead to hypoglycemia.It is also important that athletes with diabetes have caramelos or sugar at hand to take at some time of hypoglycemia crisis, which will be solved without major problems.

It is important not to perform any sports activity until the insulin dose is adjusted as well as the blood sugar level.A detailed study must be carried out from the metabolic point of view before being able to do a physically demanding activity.More difficult to prevent are blood sugar increases (hyperglycemia).

for children and adolescents

-Hard the puncture schedules to check the blood sugar level.It is important to make time changes depending on the time when the ejericicio is planned.

-Importing the puncture place depending on the sport.Avoid the muscles involved in sports practice such as thighs in football players.

-Inate adequate.An extra dose of carbohydrates before and after exercise, such as a small extra snack.

-It is important to have glucose and water pills by hand while the sports activity is performed.If the blood lift in blood descends, it can be resolved quickly and efficiently.

-Cove a backpack or a bag prepared with the medications that are being taken, sanitary emergency numbers, machine to perform the sugar test immediately.It is important to have a diabetes control plan if the boy V from camp outside the home.

-Centate the case to coaches, educators or physical education teachers so that they are alert to possible complications.That observe the child and dose the effort, as well as avoid risk behaviors such as shocks or contact sports.

-Tomar control.It is very important for the child to take control of his illness and medication and learn the management of medication as well as the hygienic-dietary measures that this entails.
