A boy attending the Albert Academy remarked in a hushed voice “people with greater body mass tend to have diabetes”.

But I was made to understand that young children cannot get diabetes remarked a quiet looking girl wearing the Imatt College uniform. That’s not exactly true said a boy attending the Government Rokel School. “Type 2 Diabetes is predominantly common amongst older people” he said, but it has been seen to occur in children, especially very over weight children, and children are born with Type 1 Diabetes, since Diabetes itself can be transferred from a parent to a child.
Exercise plays a major role in the fight against diabetes. The american diabetes association recommends 150 mins of exercise per week to prevent and manage diabetes. Exercise helps to reduce insulin resistance hence control your blood sugar levels.
Let us join hands in making World Diabetes Day a reality, let us prevent and manage diabetes, its a pain in the pancreas. We hope you continue the journey to be physically active to prevent obesity and diabetes.
