Children with diabetes are becoming a major problem in this country and throughout the world. This childhood epidemic is growing.

What is the problem?

The trend is more and more. In 1999 13% -14% of boys and girls aged six to 19 were overweight. Over the past two decades, these figures have increased by 300%. More children have diabetes. That means probably more adults suffer from diabetes in the future?

A large percentage (over 80%) of children and adolescents with diabetes are overweight. And this trend is more and more.

We are less and less physical. Many of our activities are either on the computer, watch TV or play video games. It is so cool to have the latest and greatest cell phone with all the gadgets, or most updated software for those computers. With less movement is increased in circumference.

Our children are waiting for us to show the way.

As an adult, you can transmit the message to your children so that they can take advantage of what you've learned. The disease is the same as for adults as for children. If you eat healthy and exercise allows you to avoid the disease diabetes. If you have diabetes while eating a smart exercise is not an option. You must change and it is also true of your children.  Love you children at all costs. I know that sounds kind of corny, but if your child is overweight, he or she almost certainly knows that. Be there for her or him encouraging his excellent form eating habits. As fruit and vegetables. Avoid foods that cause diabetes as sugar, carbohydrates and foods that contain high levels of transportation and saturated fat. These are probably the foods that have brought on diabetes disease in the first place.

Support your children, no matter what. Show them an abundance of love and care. If you live a healthy lifestyle, they are more likely to do the same thing as you. This will be beneficial for both of you. Create time together where you and your child can exercise. If you like to play a sport or as a work programme to see if you can get your child in the same program. This will create a partnership with your child that can last a lifetime.

To help your child at this critical point in their lives is something that can improve your relationship forever.
