From time to time there are "special occasions" such as parties. Others can eat and drink whatever they like. What ought I to do?
Well, there are lots of ways for people with diabetes to enjoy themselves. Your "special occasions" can be of all sorts and kinds: with or without exercise, with or without eating and drinking, and so on.

It all depends on the "special situation",
the party or whatever you are going to. We can only talk about a few such situations.
But perhaps you will find the following helpful:
If the entertainment does not involve any special physical exertion,
you can convert the meal which you would ordinarily have into a "party meal"
or whatever you like to call it.

However, if your party or meeting involves a lot of physical exercise (playing ball, swimming, tennis, dancing, etc.), be careful.

As you should have come to realise, during physical exercise, more glucose is consumed.
As a result during physical exertion the blood sugar level drops and you may have an
episode of hypoglycaemia (low blood sugar).
Let's talk about this in a bit more detail.
