There is urgent need for Insurance company's to offer Medical health insurance covering such pre existing conditions. They can increase their premiums but I have not found any Insurance company in UAe who are able to offer a cover for pre existing condtions.
In Uk & Europe several of these company's offer such cover and I feel that the Insurance company's in UAE should also start offering such covers for the benefits of the UAE residents.

Provision of the High fiber diets in the Market and provision of foods with no sugar in the stores shelves.
Installment of the Boards on the roads with important practical information regarding the control keeping of the diabetes and its primary & secondary and tertiary preventive measures.
