First sentence: Why this is the first line? This paragraph is the first sentence because it introduces the main topic of diabetes. It gives a broad overview of what diabetes is without going into details. This follows the rule of Topic Sentence. Why other lines are not chosen? Paragraph 2 starts with "This problem" which refers back to something, so it is not independent. Paragraph 3 starts with "If diabetes is untreated" which is a conditional phrase, so it is not independent. Paragraph 4 starts with "Uncontrolled changes" which also does not stand alone without context, so it is not independent.

Concluding sentence: Why this is the last line? This paragraph is the last sentence because it summarizes the effects of diabetes. It gives a clear conclusion about what can happen if diabetes is not managed. This follows the Summary Style rule.
