Type-2 diabetes prevalence in the UAE is among the highest in the world — around one in five adults — driven by genetics, sedentary lifestyles, calorie-dense diets and high rates of obesity. Diabetes is rarely managed by a single clinic: effective care integrates primary-care follow-up, dietitian-led nutrition counseling, medication management (metformin, GLP-1 agonists, SGLT-2 inhibitors, insulin), annual retinal screening, foot checks, renal function monitoring and cardiovascular risk assessment. In the UAE, most DHA-compliant insurance plans cover diabetes consultations, HbA1c and lipid testing, standard oral medications and, increasingly, GLP-1 and SGLT-2 agents with pre-authorisation. Diabetic retinopathy screening is covered annually under most plans. Patients newly diagnosed with Type-1 diabetes or with poorly controlled Type-2 are typically referred to an endocrinologist for intensification of therapy and CGM (continuous glucose monitoring) guidance. Every major hospital in Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Sharjah runs a diabetes center — Imperial College London Diabetes Centre (Abu Dhabi + Al Ain) is a regional reference.

يُعدّ انتشار داء السكري من النوع الثاني في الإمارات من الأعلى عالمياً — نحو واحد من كل خمسة بالغين — مدفوعاً بعوامل وراثية ونمط حياة خامل ونظام غذائي عالي السعرات وارتفاع معدلات السمنة. نادراً ما تُدار حالة السكري في عيادة واحدة: يتطلب العلاج الفعّال متابعة في الرعاية الأولية، إرشاداً غذائياً من اختصاصي تغذية، إدارة الأدوية (ميتفورمين، حاصرات GLP-1، حاصرات SGLT-2، إنسولين)، فحصاً سنوياً للشبكية، فحص القدم، ومتابعة وظائف الكلى والمخاطر القلبية. تغطي معظم خطط التأمين المعتمدة في الإمارات الاستشارات واختبارات HbA1c والدهون والأدوية الأساسية. يُحال مرضى النوع الأول أو الحالات غير المنضبطة إلى طبيب غدد صم لتكثيف العلاج.
