The plot summary of our short film is bringing awareness to Diabetes and looking at two people which have the disease but live very different lives. The first patient- Jeppe has had diabetes all his life.This is type 1 diabetes however he does everything he can in order to maintain his health, he takes his medicine on time, eats healthy and exercises as well as being very sociable . Jeppe is a tall, physically fit teenager which you would not expect to have diabetes, this challenges the stereotyping of diabetes. We then meet our second patient-Abdul who has type 2 diabetes, Abdul does not take care of himself. he ignores his medicine and eats junk food regularly. Abdul would be the typical person you would expect to have diabetes. Unhygienic, lazy and does not care about his appearance.
The plot thickens when Abdul collapses and Jeppe is left to save him.Coming out of his favorite fast food restaurant Abdul has a Hypoglycemic attack and is left unconscious, Jeppe is then jogging by and sees this happen and immediately injects Abdul with insulin,this is when Abdul changes his ways in which he treats himself and starts to be more careful.
