3:31 am
every 8 seconds someone dies from diabetes, which attacks blood vessels and organs in how can diabetes be prevented. and what rose to sugar insulin and the pancreas play, find out next on in good shape with that's the pancreas. it sits wedged between the stomach, duodenum, and liver. it produces over a leader of digestive juices every day, an important task, just not very glamorous. but the pancreas also has another job regulating blood sugar levels. when we eat, the level of glucose in the blood increases carbohydrates are already broken down
3:32 am
into glucose in the mouth and stomach and migrate into the bloodstream after just half an hour. glucose is the body's main energy source. the brain tissue and muscles as well as red blood cells, depend on it. and this is where the pancreas comes in. it into chron, tissue known as pancreatic eyelets. registers the increase in blood sugar and produces insulin. the insulin works like a key to the cells. now the bodies cells can absorb glucose and the blood sugar level drops. excess glucose is converted to glycogen in the liver and stored as a reserve. if the pancreas registers a low blood sugar level, it re activates these reserves by releasing the hormones, glucagon disorders and the regulation of blood sugar are called diabetes.
3:33 am
with type 2 diabetes, the body cells react less and less to the insulin present. the pancreas increases production, but at some point, even that's no longer enough to regulate blood sugar levels with type one diabetes . no insulin is produced at all due to a congenital auto immune disease. for instance, in this case, those affected must assume the function of the pancreas themselves and control their blood sugar and regulated with insulin injections. because there are consequences if the blood sugar level isn't in the normal range, cravings, sweating, and dizziness can result from low blood sugar levels. whereas high levels triggered 1st when fatigue. and in the long term, high blood sugar levels caused damage throughout the body. affecting the eyes, kidneys, and nerves, and even leading to cardiovascular disease and strokes. so it's
3:34 am
a good thing that the pancreas takes its job seriously and keeps an eye on blood sugar levels. oh, roughly 9000000 people suffer from type one diabetes world wide. it's an auto immune disease which causes a person's body to mistakenly attack. the pancreas. this vital organ then produces less and less insulin, or none at all. type one diabetes often begins in childhood, left untreated, it can be fatal. so suffer his must. mona said they blood sugar levels regularly and administer the missing insulin externally with a needle or pump for diabetic children and their parents. that's a big part of their daily lives. filling as mother is picking her up at preschool, she asked the teacher what her daughter has eaten. got her. we had fish with rice,
3:35 am
and qu schools. felina has had type one diabetes for a year. now her insulin dose is controlled via this app. if seen by guided us or we can see that she ate lunch, then it went up. so she also had something with carbohydrates at $1115.00. so we would expect her blood sugar level to fall again. and it has a martin. gov to sit took over the window for it and can knows what is the self. her blood sugar level remained stable throughout the day. now it's time to go home . it's painful and annoying, but frequent blood sugar testing $81012.00 times a day is part of the daily routine for diabetics. like and are foreigners and felina. but now they only test their blood sugar once every one or 2 days. and that's just to check that their monitors are working correctly. we'll reach out to them and a foreign horses. dia baton just introduced her to this technology. does this look, anna?
3:36 am
i know on globe diabetes technology is advancing and an incredible rate in behind the especially continuous blood sugar monitoring it. it's an incredible bone to me, holes quality of life and a focus on diligence, qualitative image. the most significant technological advance in recent years has seen data from blood sugar monitors being used to directly control an insulin pump . yeah, call it. now another proof of i'm used to the pump. now i've got it here on your phone and when it's so small, it isn't a problem any more than manner. an automated insulin dosing system or a i d, combines a continuous blood sugar monitor with an insulin pump. the pump is controlled by an algorithm via smartphone. for example, blood sugar levels are measured every 5 minutes. the algorithm ensures that the pump delivers enough insulin to keep blood sugar levels within the range
3:37 am
of 70 to a $180.00 milligrams per deciliter. the receiver triggers an alarm if there's a risk of hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia, so that measures can be taken in good time. felina needs something sweet. now that's good. us versus tim jeff woodside respond as well. the good thing is that the system worn with her so early completion that she never even gets close to becoming properly hypoglycemic. does he anchor scan him? does her list? he couldn't article kind calmed. she just has the strange feeling of it, but all the other science i tremors and in the worst case fainting we've never had with her happened about, you know me. felina is a little whirlwind. she loves acrobatics, and the id system accompanies her every step of the way. does it bother you know,
3:38 am
only when that's just put on at night, then it hurts in the morning the. the monitor can also be worn when bathing, showering, and swimming. the device needs to be replaced every $6.00 to $14.00 days, depending on the system. and it ends also, vaccines seems i'm for changing. the monitor is easy. i do. it's a felina and she does it for me in legal and senior felina recently visited her auntie and uncles wellness minutes so far by his attendance. she was able to show her aren't exactly how to do it really easily. so does he turn it over to her aunt had never done it before me. the mustard is i'm for it is it said the 3rd i of itala just keeps a close eye on what's happening in the fast moving market for blood sugar monitors on a foreign halls and her daughter have fairly modern equipment. new monitors, algorithms and pumps are constantly being developed by manufacturers and a foreign holds as testing this monitor, which has just come under the market. the predecessor model on her other arm
3:39 am
delivers readings about 2 hours after being fitted. the new one takes just 30 minutes. as did you get through that? yeah, this is something is cool. yeah, it's pretty cool. if the nina no longer has a 2 hour gap with no data based on kind that had every time she moves, felina has to make sure that the connection to the insulin pump is correctly inserted into her bag. but she managers and so her current id system already gives her much more freedom. darvis a symmetric enough for it means i can relax much more at night because i know that the system will not let her become hypoglycemic. when does that? that's an incredible advantage for parents and for suffer as themselves. before i would set my alarm every 2 hours are in the worst case every hour, just to check the now i can sleep much better, much, much better. no 3rd suspicious, love. type one diabetes is not yet curable,
3:40 am
and so felina, just like her mother, will have to manage the disease for the rest of her life. but automatic insulin dosing makes that much easier. 9, it helps exact hoyde. recently she said, today i didn't even think about having diabetes as a mother that's incredibly moving to her tolerisk of her as they videos on type one diabetes on social media to young people show how they live their lives with type one diabetes. ah, they provide tips and inform their followers about the latest discoveries and treatments while combatting social stigma and exclusion ah khaki khan also wears our insulin pump all the time. she develop type one diabetes at the age of 20 reading. still, it took half a year before
3:41 am

3:42 am
katie korn works as a diabetes counselor and consultant. she's also the german women's table tennis champion and has 3 healthy daughters. it's important to her to break down stereotypes about diabetes as, as not to live as a very stigmatized disease hung. and it's incredible, especially where diabetes is concerned. and if you're a little overweight as well, that it all comes raining down on you through them. but it's really important to note no matter what type of diabetes someone has, then not necessarily to blame for getting it on his dentist sung service on short as a type one diabetic khaki kaun will need to take insulin for the rest of her life. on her social media channels, she shares her experiences and tips for monitoring her insulin. my app and the office. she hopes to motivate her 10000 followers and do the transfer here for all of the help i provide also helps me. that helps me to engage more with my illness, my neck, with my personal values. i am my diabetes management diabetes management and it
3:43 am
helps me immensely, to be able to help others. i'm mentioned. so having to think about it. so i'd say that it actually gives me strength from, from their craft occupied mccarty. corn is glad she ignored what doctors told her a decade ago and became a mother. her message is clear, diabetes needn't prevent you from leading a full life yet. oh, in addition to type one diabetic, a growing number of people are contracting type 2 diabetes. in contrast to the auto immune disease type 2 diabetes is by and large and acquired one lifestyle factors play a big part too much food and 2 little exercise. all to common in affluent societies promote its development because constantly consuming carbs means the pancreas never gets a break. the story of caspar the sugar addict, casper was fit as a fiddle and not too big around the middle. yet he'd never deny himself
3:44 am
a treat and would eat anything, sweet. sugar you foods provide us with energy. the fastest sugar is a carbohydrates. and when broken down in the body, produces the building block glucose. and glucose is the key energy source for ourselves. our bodies adapt insulin production to our current blood sugar level is normally between 80 and a $180.00 milligrams per deciliter. each day casper eats candy and he thinks that's just dandy. he never turns down something sugary that gives him a boost of energy. ah, carbohydrates aunt is found in sweets and granulated sugar, but in many other foods to flour, fruit and maybe also contain glucose. to release it, our bodies break down the carbohydrates with table sugar and sweet that happens
3:45 am
fast and our blood sugar rises quickly. right away, the pancreas releases the essential hallman insulin and our blood sugar full. but plunging blood sugar levels, trigger one thing hunger ah, hunger caspar doesn't like it so he feeds his big appetite with sweets each and every day. chocolate holds him in its way because he just can't say no. his belly continues to grow and grow. being overweight, increases the risk of developing type 2 diabetes. but it's not just about the fact that visible on the outside. it's simply an indicator for the far more dangerous, yet hidden belly fat that formed in our abdominal cavity and around our organs, known as visceral fat. it secretes chemical messengers which increase our appetite,
3:46 am
forcing the pancreas to release more insulin. the problem is, insulin triggers the production of even more fat, missouri at times kasparov bother to know how much his tummy continues to grow, but he doesn't think it's a problem as such. that he really, it's that much. it's not just how much we eat that matters, but when, oh, more importantly, when we don't eat, because consuming sweet. so other carbs nonstop means our bodies must constantly produce insulin. yet ourselves any time to rest and regenerate. for people who are overweight, the constant secretion of insulin, can mark a start of pre diabetes. at some point this i was become overburdened and shut down they no longer react to insulin and become increasingly desensitized to the hormone
3:47 am
resulting in what's known as insulin resistance. but caspar isn't aware of it. he still feels healthy and fit. however, in less than a year, his diabetes will be here. and that can happen is the pancreas tries to he producing more and more insulin to keep the blood sugar in check. but the insulin no longer has any effect. eventually the pancreas is so overworked and weakened, but it stops producing insulin both together. then the person's blood, sugar level go sky high. they are now diabetic. ah, the moral of this tale of woe. sometimes it pays to just say no so type 2 diabetes can be prevented mainly through an active lifestyle.
3:48 am
and by eating less of that and more of this because while insulin injections can save lives, the shots also have side effects. after being diagnosed with type 2 diabetes lawyer, hildegard so a couple in schwab consulted a dia, baton just though she was given dietary advice. she was also quickly prescribed. insulin. p o is logan's law. it was crystal clarity. i was told explicitly that i had to live with the insulin described to me live and sharing minute hope. you have, there was no mention of the side effects of insulin. but very quickly, she felt them in her own body becoming sluggish and having to lie down more and more shame spinoza nicki. it's not as if i am cakes every afternoon, but i just put on white bit by bit with with type 2 diabetes. cells become
3:49 am
resistant to insulin, meaning the blood sugar level is constantly high. insulin injections do bring down the blood sugar level, but more insulin very quickly creates fat reserves. more weight produces more insulin, and more insulin causes more weight. an unhealthy vicious cycle. if we'll leave early and predominant use of insulin in type 2 diabetes is not a good practice and harms the patient. i'm a high dose of insulin can even increase the risk of heart attack a close diag. and there are alternatives for people with type 2 diabetes. modern anti diabetics are more gentle than insulin. they can help diabetics to stabilize their weight. what else got us covered or even lower body weight was often they partially reduced blood pressure to and they aren't linked to
3:50 am
hypoglycemia. when i needed some of these medications, even lower mortality and heart attack rate, which has hot odd obama giving a household talk hot wash, it's was one treatment uses g p one analogs. these stimulate the pancreas to release more insulin introduce appetite excess weight, and the risk of heart attacks and strokes. then there are s g l t 2 inhibitors. they ensure that sugar leaves the body more quickly by a urine. this also leads to a reduction in weight and in the risk of heart attacks and strokes. but despite the scientific evidence, many type 2 diabetic still take insulin. the thank isn't, it's a political health scandal that still not being taken seriously, or the financial interests of muggles in the health care sector are being treated against the health interests of patients in alcohol. since she stopped injecting
3:51 am
insulin and began taking a modern anti diabetic hillagada, so come plunged, who has lost 20 kilograms. she also eats more protein and vegetables and is very physically active. her blood sugar level has returned to normal. that means type 2 diabetics often don't need any insulin at all. there are already better alternatives. ah, do you like to lift weights at the gym? or do you prefer other forms of exercise? learn why strength training is a real one to drug, especially for those with diabetes. muscles can be very nice to look at. they also give out body stability and help us
