Abstract
The article discusses the importance of physical activity for managing diabetes in children and teenagers and for lowering the risk of type 2 diabetes in youth. Obesity as a risk factor for type 2 diabetes in children and adolescents can be controlled by implementing sustained physical activity and modifying food intake to lower body fat.
