Prevention through physical activity is included in cancer plans.

Type 1 diabetes affects 0.3% of the general population and most often people are under 30 years of age. The prevalence of the disease has been increasing, at the rate of 4% per year for the past twenty years. Physical exercise must be an important component of self-care activity in the management of type 1 diabetic patients.

Sport is recommended for asthmatics because it helps develop their lung capacity and strengthen their respiratory muscles, such as the diaphragm.

We fund medical studies
dedicated to this scourge in sport
to better prevent & act.

Education / Our advice

Athletes & Coaches

Fear of hypoglycaemia represents one of the major obstacles to achieving physical activity. To avoid hypoglycaemia caused by physical activity, it is necessary to reduce the usual doses of insulin and ingest additional carbohydrates. The use of CGM seems to be effective in defining individual needs and preventing hypoglycaemia during and after exercise.
