This animated video is a presentation about the symptoms, causes and types of diabetes. Diabetes is caused by insufficient insulin in the blood stream to control the blood glucose levels. Insulin is secreted by Beta cells that are in the Islets of Langerhans region of the Pancreas. Insulin helps the cells of the body to get calories from the glucose present in the blood stream. During Type 1 diabetes, the white blood cells mistake the Beta cells from the Pancreas for foreign invaders in an auto-immune response. As a result, they destroy the Beta cells by secreting anti bodies and hence the Pancreas produces little or no more insulin, leading to hyperglycaemia. The symptoms of hyperglycaemia in Type 1 diabetes are; excessive hunger, excessive thirst, frequent urination, unexplained weight-loss, fatigue, weakness, irritability, and blurry vision. Watch the video for a detailed explanation on Diabetes 1.

What is Type 2 Diabetes?
Type 2 diabetes is a condition in which your body has high blood sugar.

How does your blood sugar rise?
If you have insulin resistance, your insulin cannot unlock the cells to let glucose in, because the locks called the receptors are abnormal or missing. As a result, glucose is locked out up of your cells. Consequently, the amount of glucose builds up in the blood stream in a condition called hyperglycaemia.

How do we lose the ability to create insulin?
To compensate for hyperglycaemia, your pancreas produces more and more insulin. Your over worked beta cells try to keep up with the demand but gradually lose their capability to produce enough insulin. If you don’t receive treatment for hyperglycaemia, it can result in diabetic ketoacidosis as there will be a shortage of insulin in the body. Over time, chronic poorly controlled Type 2 diabetes can cause degenerative tissue damage resulting in long-term complications such as atherosclerosis, blindness, neuropathy, heart attack and renal failure. Diabetes and heart disease have a high rate of correlation. Watch the video to know more about the causes, symptoms, diabetes attack and high blood sugar treatment.
