Background:-Type 1 (insulin-dependent) diabetes mellitus (T1DM) is a form of diabetes caused by autoimmune damage of insulin-producing beta cells of the pancreas which leads to hyperglycemia. It often occurs in childhood. Methods:-Thirty Egyptian children suffering from T1DM participated in this study. Their age ranged from 11 to 15 years. Glycosylated hemoglobin, blood glucose (fasting and postprandial), insulin intake and Physical Fitness Index were measured before and after Wii aerobic training. The Wii aerobic training was conducted for 30 minutes, 3 times per week for 12 weeks. Results:-Comparing the pre and post treatment mean values of the measured variables revealed significant improvement in the blood glucose levels and Physical Fitness Index after the Wii training. Conclusion:-It may be concluded that the Wii game training was effective in the treatment of T1DM.
