About this work

Description

The film, aimed at those who have recently been diagnosed with diabetes, takes on the style of a one-to-one consultation with a diabetes consultant and dietician. It is presented by Geoffrey Lewis (diabetic consultant) and Stella Riley (dietician) to two patients: Miss Smith who has Type 1 diabetes and Mr. Anderson who has Type 2 diabetes. The two types are differentiated and it is shown how the diabetic can live a normal life through diet alone, or through diet and the use of insulin. The technique of self-injection of insulin is demonstrated and is followed by an illustration of a routine urine test. A brief description of the manufacture of insulin is given, and the final sequences provide examples of some cases and symptoms of hypoglycaemia and hyperglycaemia.
