This study, called PLAY2CONTROL, is looking at how active video gaming might help young people with obesity and Type 2 Diabetes. You would use a Nex Playground gaming console at home for at least 20 minutes regularly. The study aims to see if this activity changes your weight and your HbA1c (a measure of blood sugar control) over 12 months. To join, you need to be between 5 and 21 years old, have a diagnosis of obesity (BMI of 95th percentile or higher) and Type 2 Diabetes (HbA1c over 6.5%), and be a patient at the University of Miami Pediatric Endocrinology Clinic. The current recruitment status is unclear, and the study plans to enroll 30 participants.
