frequent exercise in diabetics is critical to maintaining normal b.s.'s because it helps to expend the starches and glucose in the body. the model cell experiences (lysis), destruction, because it cannot absorb or use the xtra glucose in the system. preventing a diabetic emergency requires xtra fluids to excrete the glucose out thru the urine. saline lasts longer in the body. the day to day life of a diabetic may require dialysis of the kidneys and blood for survival, usually every 2 days. hope this helps...
