The PRECEDE-PROCEED model is a comprehensive structure that helps health program planners, policy makers, and evaluators analyze situations and design an efficient health promotion and public health program. The model is composed altogether of nine phases (http://ctb.ku.edu/). The first stage in the program planning phase deals with identifying and evaluating the social problems that have an impact on the quality of life of a population of interest. Each phase of the model is applied and based on priorities, achievable goals and objectives are then put in place. The final phase is evaluation wherein the effects of the interventions of the population are measured (http://ctb.ku.edu/). Diabetes is the most common disorder of the endocrine system and it is when the body cannot make insulin or utilize it resulting in a higher than normal blood sugar. There are three different types of diabetes which are type 1 diabetes, type 2 diabetes, and gestational diabetes. Gestational diabetes is when a woman experiences diabetes only while pregnant and it goes away after the birth of her child. Type 1 diabetes occurs when the body 's immune system destroys the insulin-producing cells in the pancreas, which would usually make insulin that is used by the body to monitor blood sugar levels. Type 2 diabetes is when the body produces insulin, but the amount is not adequate enough or the body is not efficient in using the insulin that it has. Type 1 and type 2, diabetes affects the body in the same fashion, leaving no way to regulate blood sugar, diabetic’s blood sugar levels can sky rocket and be extremely dangerous. In this paper the above model will be used to discuss and make you aware of the three known types of diabetes. Diabetes is a very serious disease often overlooked. Diabetes is a disease that affects
