Brief description Obesity in children and adolescents is often associated with high insulin levels. Adolescents with high untreated insulin levels are likely to get Type 2 diabetes. Diet and exercise can improve obesity and reduce the high insulin levels. Exercise makes muscle which allows uptake of sugars more easily and this decreases insulin levels. We plan to see if whole body vibration training will lower insulin levels by increasing muscle size; thereby preventing Type 2 diabetes and complications.
