Abstract:
The short-term and longterm effects of physical exercise and sports on the regulation of diabetes mellitus in children are described. The precise tuning of insulin dosage, food and sports can be achieved with self-control and self-regulation. Advisable sports activities and limitations like poor metabolic control are being discussed. Regular physical exercise for diabetic children is advised to prevent lack of movement, also for their health in older age.
