Affecting more than 3,7 million people in France, diabetes continues to gain ground due, in particular, to the evolution of our lifestyles: overweight, obesity, poor diet and sedentary lifestyle. So how can sport improve the health of people with diabetes and thus avoid many complications?

Diabetes, delaying its onset with physical activityWith dedicated stands, tests and conferences, the Sport, Health and Well-Being Show will encourage and help every visitor, diabetic or not, to move towards regular and adapted physical activity.

For all people with diabetes, it is essential to have a balanced diet, medication, but also to exercise regular physical activity or sport (APS) in full autonomy. However, 1 in 2 people do not know that PSA can delay the onset of many chronic diseases such as diabetes, improve health and prevent complications:

  • Physical activity reduces the risk of becoming diabetic by 50% in the medium term (3 years)
  • The practice of at least 150 minutes of physical activity per week lowers blood sugar levels and thus reduces the risk of complications (cardiovascular accident, retinopathy, etc.)

“Physical or sports activity is essential to regulate blood sugar levels and better balance diabetes. On the occasion of the Sport, Health and Well-Being Fair, people with diabetes will learn to acquire good habits and thus avoid the problems that this pathology can cause. It is important that visitors and diabetics finally realize the need for physical activity to feel better! ", Bernard Le Chevalier, diabetic coach, therapeutic educator and type 1 diabetic for more than 15 years.

Diabetes, a pathology at the heart of the Salon Sport Santé Bien-Etre:

  • A round table in the presence of Bernard Le Chevalier, coach of diabetics, therapeutic and diabetic educator, and Jérôme Trublet, president of Union Sport et Diabète: "The benefits of physical or sports activity on diabetes"
  • Physical capacity tests and personalized advice with the Carnot STAR Institutes network and IRFO (Institut des Rencontres de la Forme)

Numerous exhibitors: patient associations including Union Sport et Diabète, digital solutions such as APA de Géant, sports federations, the Pierre Fabre Médicaments Laboratory, but also mutual funds and health establishments, etc.

“Each year, the Sport Santé Bien-Etre trade fair puts forward an association of patients in order to give them a voice. This year, two pathologies will be strongly represented: diabetes and cancer, with the presence of the USD (Union Sport and Diabetes) and CAMI Sport and Cancer. Physical activity represents, for people suffering from these pathologies, a precious help in the prevention of the disease or in the course of care. The show will be the ideal opportunity to highlight their testimony, the programs offered by these organizations, their expectations with physicians and their behavior in the face of new technologies. ", Christian Nicolaÿ director of the show.
