This document discusses diabetes, including the three main types (type 1, type 2, and gestational), causes, symptoms, treatment options, prevention strategies like diet and exercise, and the growing issue of diabetes in the UAE. Type 1 diabetes is caused by an autoimmune destruction of insulin-producing cells, while type 2 is often linked to genetics and lifestyle factors. Common symptoms include frequent urination, thirst, hunger, weight changes and fatigue. Treatment involves insulin, medications, diet, and physical activity. Healthy eating, active living, and routine testing can help prevent diabetes.
