This video, created by Nucleus Medical Media, shows type 2 diabetes, a condition in which the level of sugar in the blood is too high. The animation begins by showing the normal physiology of food absorption and the mechanism of action of insulin. The pathology of type 2 diabetes is portrayed, including low insulin production, insulin resistance, hyperglycemia, and common symptoms. Acute complications are shown, including diabetic ketoacidosis, hyperosmolar hyperglycemic nonketotic syndrome, hypoglycemia (insulin shock), seizures, and diabetic coma. Chronic complications are displayed, including atherosclerosis, blindness, neuropathy, and renal failure. Multiple treatments are detailed at the end of the animation, including blood glucose monitoring, healthy eating, regular exercise, and medications.

So sorry for your loss. My mother is a Type 2 diabetic, and she appreciated seeing the information in this animation. If you think this animation is valuable for patients, please encourage others to "watch and share" it.

I recently got diagnosed with type 2 diabetes after getting covid. I was already predisposed because I have both types on both sides of my family and I have PCOS, but COVID really did a number on my pancreas. I even had a take a medical leave of absence from college and drop all of my classes last week because my health is so bad now. Now everything has changed and I’m trying to adjust to it. I’m scared of needles but I have to prick my finger multiple times a day and give myself insulin in the night. So much is different now and I’m not going to lie, I’m absolutely terrified. I don’t know how I’m going to make it through this but I’m going to try my best. I’m super grateful for the support I’ve received from my friends and family as well! I’m trying to learn as much as I can do I can get through this and live as long as possible

This is very informative. I learned so much in this 9 minute video that I could explain to a 3 year old what diabetes is. Thanks for making this video!

I'm 26, and I got diagnosed with type 2 diabetes a few months ago. At work I began to use the restroom much more frequently than usual, drank significant amounts of water than usual, and lost more than 20 pounds. When the doctor took my blood sugar, the reading on the glucometer came out as high as 410. She identified my family history accompanied by excessive work-related stress and lack of sleep as the main contributors, although my eating habits were awful too. Fortunately my blood sugars are now well controlled, since I take medications as prescribed by my doctor, try to get at least 7 hours of sleep, exercise regularly, and plan meals accordingly as much as I could. But if I stopped taking my medications and went back to my poor eating habits before I was diagnosed, my blood sugars would go back up the way they were. Yet I still feel the need that there is room to make some improvements. For example, there are times when I would still succumb to eating unhealthy foods, such as donuts, hamburgers, ramen noodles, etc. But such cravings only happened when I was in a bad mood, or when I was simply having a bad day. Nowdays I turn to other ways to relieve stress, such as going to the theater to watch a movie, shopping at the mall, or playing video games.

Great video. The beginning of the video states glucose is produced from carbohydrates; then recommends a balance of carbs. I hear great things about the Keto diet which is low in carbs.
