Proximity to a swimming pool?

What does a child’s proximity to a local swimming pool have to do with controlling diabetes? It’s a good question, but not something many doctors factor into their diagnoses of patients. Fact is, swimming pools are a great source of exercise, an important part of controlling diabetes. If a doctor knew you had a pool near your house they might suggest it as an exercise option when counseling you on treatments. Why not think about installing an above ground pool in your own backyard?
