This research aimed to develop a recreational sports program for diabetics of the second type and to know the impact of this on the level of blood glucose and cumulative blood sugar and cholesterol and dimensions of quality of life for diabetics of the second type aged (37- 45) years, and the researcher used the experimental approach on a sample of (15) diabetics of the second type, and research tools: Biochemical measurements - quality of life scale for type II diabetics - The proposed sports recreational program. the most important results:
1- The proposed sports recreational program has a positive statistical impact on some biochemical variables (blood glucose level “random sugar” - cumulative blood sugar - blood cholesterol (good) “HDL” - blood cholesterol (bad) “LDL”) for diabetics of The second type is aged (37-45) years.
2- The proposed sports recreational program has a positive impact statistically on the level of dimensions of quality of life (public health - family life - married life - professional life - religious life - social life - personal life life satisfaction - mental health) for diabetics of the second type aged (37-45) years.
3- There are improvement rates for the dimensional measurement of the tribal members of the basic research sample in the biochemical variables under research ranged between (13.19% - 22.69%).
4-There are improvement rates for the dimensional measurement of the tribal members of the basic research sample in the dimensions of the quality of life under research ranged between (13.22% - 21.71%).
