- Relationship to Diabetes
- Type 1
Kids with type 1 diabetes who spend hours in front of a TV or computer each day may have poorer blood sugar control, a new study suggests.
It's not clear why the relationship exists, and the findings do not prove that "screen time" itself worsens kids' diabetes control.
But factors like obesity, exercise habits and family income did not explain the connection, the study found.
