1. A 7-year-old boy was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes 5 months ago. Since his diagnosis, his diabetes has been well controlled with diet and insulin injections. He wants to play soccer in the fall, but his parents are reluctant and worry that it will lead to hypoglycemia and unstable blood glucose control. Should the boy participate in sports?
2. Describe the possible long-term complications of poorly controlled diabetes mellitus. Can these complications be avoided? If so, how?
