Regulation of the Blood Glucose Level
Big break in the school yard of the Freiherr vom Stein school. The pupils are talking or playing. Amidst them is Felix, twelve years old. He is always with them. Now it is necessary for him to measure his blood sugar because he has diabetes. The blood sugar level is permanently elevated in this disease. A fellow pupil talks to Felix while the latter is measuring his blood sugar. Felix explains to him that this has to do with his diabetes. That is why he must regularly check his blood glucose level. If the values are too high or too low, he does not feel well. Diabetes has become a more and more widespread disease. It is estimated today that there are 240 million people with diabetes worldwide, in Germany there are supposed to be about 6.5 million suffering from either diabetes type 1 or type 2. This corresponds to 8 % of the total population in this country.

Ceramic
Ceramics are indispensable in our everyday lives. We eat from ceramic plates, drink from ceramic cups, use tiled ceramic bathrooms. But how is ceramic manufactured? The film reveals the secrets of this fascinating material! We get to know more about the beginnings of ceramic in the Old World of Egypt and Mesopotamia, about Greece, China and Rome. We gain interesting insights into the valuable earthenware and are also shown the exquisite further development of the "white gold". Today this versatile material is irreplaceable in industry, too. Whether in space or as an easily compatible substitute in medicine, ceramic is applied in many places.
