Healthy weight and overweight adolescents with type 1 diabetes mellitus do not meet recommendations for daily physical activity and sleep
Authors' conclusion
Adolescents with T1DM engage in insufficient MVPA and sleep, irrespective of body weight status, suggesting the need for targeted interventions.
