Video Credits Column http://broadcaster.beazil.net/public/credits/youtube/videos/183874 Diabetes is the name given to disorders in which the body has trouble regulating its blood glucose or blood sugar levels. There are two major types of diabetes: type 1 and type 2. Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is an autoimmune disease in which a person’s pancreas stops producing insulin, a hormone that enables people to get energy from food. Type 2 diabetes is a metabolic disorder in which a person’s body still produces insulin but is unable to use it effectively. JDRF is the leading global organization focused on type 1 diabetes (T1D) research. Driven by passionate, grassroots volunteers connected to children, adolescents, and adults with this disease, JDRF is the largest charitable supporter of T1D research. The Health Care and Social Assistance sector comprises establishments providing health care and social assistance for individuals. The sector includes both health care and social assistance because it is sometimes difficult to distinguish between the boundaries of these two activities. The industries in this sector are arranged on a continuum starting with those establishments providing medical care exclusively, continuing with those providing health care and social assistance, and finally finishing with those providing only social assistance. The services provided by establishments in this sector are delivered by trained professionals. Type 1 diabetes (Juvenile Diabetes) is usually diagnosed in children and young adults, and was previously known as juvenile diabetes. Only 5% of people with diabetes have this form of the disease. In type 1 diabetes, the body does not produce insulin. The body breaks down the sugars and starches you eat into a simple sugar called glucose, which it uses for energy. Insulin is a hormone that the body needs to get glucose from the bloodstream into the cells of the body. With the help of insulin therapy and other treatments, even young children can learn to manage their condition and live long, healthy lives.

Little Nasir, a T1D kid, tries to explain in his own words what T1D is. In his kid’s vision, our pancreas is a kind creature, which produces good Beta-cells, but there comes a monster, green ugly freakery and snatch them. The Pancreas becomes very sad and even wants to cry. Nasir proposes to create such a machine, which will produce many Beta-cells. A Super-Man will get all these new Beta-cells and will kill the monster. New Beta-cells will save the Pancreas and we will be save and free from T1D Monster. Even the small Nasir understands that we need a lot of Beta-cells to get insulin and to be healthy. JDRF tries to help all people with T1D and to make a progress in diabetes research.
