Summary

This study looks at whether playing active video games can help children, teenagers, and young adults (ages 5-21) with obesity and type 2 diabetes lose weight and improve their blood sugar levels. Participants will play active video games at home, and researchers will track changes in weight and HbA1c (a measure of blood sugar control) over time. The goal is to find a fun, accessible way to manage these conditions without medication.
