Admission. Diabetes mellitus is a group of metabolic diseases characterized by hyperglycaemia resulting from a defect in the production or function of insulin secreted by the beta cells of the pancreas. The most common form of diabetes is type 2 diabetes, in which there is primarily a decreased sensitivity of tissues to insulin (insulin resistance). Long-term diabetes leads to many serious complications that affect many organs, such as the eyes, kidneys and nerve fibers. Aim. The aim of the study was to assess the patients' awareness of late compli-cation of type 2 diabetes. Material and methods. The study involved 100 female and male patients treated at the CDL Barska Diabetes Clinic. The diagnostic survey method was selected, the survey technique and the analysis of medical records were used. The research tool used in the work was the original questionnaire and medical documentation. Results. The conducted research shows that the vast majority of patients are women (63%), over 60 (40%), living in the city (62%), professionally active (44%), who were ill for less than 5 years (45%) . Most respondents indicated participation in ophthalmological consultations (65%). The largest group of respondents indicated a complication in the form of hypertension (37.4%), visual impairment (23.7%), and the least indicated a diabetic foot (0.7%).
Admission. Diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic disease resulting from disturbed secretion or action of insulin, a hormone produced by the pancreas. It is genetically and multi-gene conditioned and by environmental factors, mainly obesity, bad eating habits and lack of physical activity. Aim. The aim of this study was to assess the influence of genetic conditions and environmental factors on the incidence of type 2 diabetes. Material and methods. In this work, the survey technique and classic qualita-tive analysis of documents were used. Research tools are used for the technical collection of data, such as: interview questionnaire, observation sheet, dicta-phone, pen, etc. Patients from the CDL Barska Diabetes Clinic in Włocławek participated in the study. The condition was the patient's written consent. Pa-tients received the questionnaire and it was conducted with their consent Results. One of the factors causing complications is alcohol consumption. Most respondents stated that they do not consume alcohol (45%), but a very large proportion of the respondents admitted that they drink alcohol occasion-ally (44%). Patients indicated that alcohol may induce hypoglycaemia (51%). Most of the respondents answered that alcohol is bad for the treatment of type 2 diabetes (88%). When indicating the type of physical activity, the respondents most often re-ported walking (48,4%) and cycling (25,8%). Patients admitted that they do physical activity once a week (34%) or not at all (27%). Conclusions. Genetic and environmental factors in the incidence of type 2 dia-betes are playing the very important role.
