Despite the benefits of physical rehabilitation among adults and children with chronic illness such as Diabetes mellitus avoid engaging in different physical activities especially pediatric population. Most of the children with type 1 Diabetes mellitus receive their medical treatment and follow-up with no change of their functional performance.
