Research draft, second pass

A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description

Let an agent explain diabetes in general terms, prioritise emergencies such as severe hypoglycaemia and diabetic ketoacidosis, and point to clinical care and support, without diagnosis or personal treatment advice.

A group of metabolic conditions characterised by high blood glucose due to problems with insulin production or action, mainly type 1, type 2 and gestational diabetes, plus rarer genetic forms; managed with lifestyle, medicines and insulin under clinical care.

What it is for: A common long-term condition needing reliable information and support.

It can be recognise diabetes emergencies; find reliable information and education; find support organisations; understand screening and risk in general terms.
