About :
Diabetes is a disease of sugar metabolism and is often referred to as diabetes. Diabetes is one of the most common diseases in our society: around 600,000 people in Austria suffer from it. The most common form of the disease is type 2 diabetes. What is diabetes actually? And how does the disease develop? In the video you will learn, among other things: • How sugar metabolism works. • What happens in the body with diabetes. • Why the disease is dangerous. • Why you get diabetes. The video is aimed at everyone who wants to find out more about diabetes. The video was produced in 2023 on behalf of the Federal Ministry of Social Affairs, Health, Care and Consumer Protection (BMSGPK) and financed from funds from the Health Promotion Agenda. What is diabetes? People with diabetes have too much sugar in their blood. This is related to sugar metabolism: When we eat carbohydrates, the building blocks of carbohydrates - individual sugar particles, also called glucose - enter the blood. In order for the body to utilize these sugar particles and use them as an energy source, they have to get into the cells. The hormone insulin ensures this: it transports the sugar from the blood into the cells. As a result, the sugar in the blood decreases. In diabetes, these processes are disrupted: the insulin cannot transport the sugar from the blood into the cells as well. Too much sugar remains in the blood. How can this happen? Various factors play a role, for example a genetic predisposition and an unhealthy lifestyle. They can lead to the insulin no longer working properly over time and there being too much sugar in the blood permanently. This then leads to type 2 diabetes, the most common form of diabetes. What does this mean for health? Diabetes is dangerous to health. People with diabetes have a higher risk of developing other diseases, such as a heart attack, a stroke or poorly healing wounds. If you are well informed about the disease, you can do a lot to avoid such dangerous consequences. Tip: In the explanatory video Avoiding diabetes and its consequences we inform you about what you can do yourself to combat type 2 diabetes and its consequences. • Avoid diabetes and its consequences: ...
