Thus, to foster this interest, expanding the Little League and offering financial support to existing community organizations is one of the physical activity components of the action plan designed for the area ("Children and Weight: Taking Action in the Vallejo Community," 2004). In terms of community reform in Vallejo, however, so that even parents and children not involved in sports could become active, sidewalks and areas of safe play were targeted for repair and construction, and new grocery stores within low income areas that provided fresh produce were another logistical community priority, so that parents could have access to healthy food after taking their children to practice, and that children would not snack on unhealthy foods after coming home from community sports and activities.
Effective diabetes treatment and prevention is not just about personal willpower and counting calories, or simply moving more. It is creating a healthier community, so that making better choices becomes easier for students and parents. From sidewalks to farmer's markets, to improved support for the Little League, to better vending machine snacks -- all of these small and large changes make healthy living more enjoyable and financially feasible for the members of populations at risk for obesity and the consequences of diabetes.

Diabetes Care in the Elderly Curriculum Development Project Curriculum Development Project: Diabetes in the Skilled Nursing Home Residents Curriculum Development Project: Diabetes in the Skilled Nursing Home Residents The increased prevalence of diabetes in developed nations has been blamed in part on the obesity epidemic, but a portion of that increase is also due to longer life-spans (reviewed by Vischer et al., 2009).
