Diabetes is a worldwide epidemic. It is estimated that by the year 2025 the worldwide prevalence of diabetes will increase to 300 million persons. This increase will be caused by an increase in the prevalence of diagnosed diabetes in the developing countries. This is why we need to invest in diabetes prevention. The main method in the treatment of diabetes is lifestyle intervention. The benefits of physical activity in prevention and treatment of diabetes have been shown in many studies. Diagnosis of diabetes does not exclude young people from sport. Sport will be safe for people with diabetes when athletes, trainers and colleagues are well educated.
