Type I Diabetes Mellitus is a chronic non-communicable disease that affects the population worldwide. Adolescents who suffer from this disease are affected by the consequences that this metabolic disorder produces. The treatment of diabetes in adolescents includes the practice of physical exercises. This research evaluated the emotional well-being associated with the practice of physical exercises in a sample of 42 adolescents who attend the Endocrinology consultation of the Pediatric Hospital "Baca Ortiz" in Quito. The combination of theoretical and empirical methods was used. A questionnaire was applied to assess the emotional well-being of adolescents during 5 weeks of exercises. The results were processed through the Statistical Control Charts and an expert consultation processed by the Kendall Concordance Coefficient. It was shown that the practice of physical exercises in diabetic patients is related to their emotional well-being. There was a small sample in which this paradigm was not fulfilled, for which a proposal of alternative exercises was made to patients who do not have the possibility of performing exercises. A proposal for educational intervention in the communities was made.
