Kazmucha, MS, CES, CSCS, Pediatric Clinical Exercise Physiologist at Lucile Packard Children's Hospital (LPCH) of Stanford University Hospital comes on the show to discuss the types of Diabetes that affect children and ways that parents can keep their children from becoming overweight and sedentary.
