Keep. The page could probably benefit from a little bit of trimming, but it is a dab page, meant to assist readers in finding the particular type of diabetes they are wanting to research, it isn't meant to fill the same role as the article. As such, it is obviously useful, but more importantly, diabetes is such a generic term for so many diseases, a dab page is surely called for to aid in navigation for readers looking for something *besides*
diabetes mellitus. Otherwise, you are forcing readers to have to read the entire diabetes mellitus (now named diabetes) page to find the *other* types of diabetes they are looking for.

Keep - helpful for general public upon initial arrival to the pedia, whereas the portals and categories are for further research.

Keep. It might better be called a set index page; however, the so-called partial-title matches are not, not really. It's like the
Mississippi River, which is found at
Mississippi (disambiguation). That's not a PTM because the river can be referred to as just "the Mississippi". Same with most of those (so-called) PTMs on this dab page, which can be referred to as just "diabetes". At any rate, this was a pretty good page when I created it 8 years ago, and it has only gotten better thanks to several other editors. Now that DM has been moved to
Diabetes, there probably should be a hatnote at that new title that links to this dab page, instead of just to the DI page. Paine Ellsworth, ed.
