PROBLEM

PREVENTIVE 2 3 1 0. Diabetes Mellitus has a moderate preventive potential

POTENTIAL 67 because, while it cannot always be completely prevented,
particularly in Type 1 diabetes, lifestyle interventions such

Implementing these preventive strategies could help control
the condition before it escalates in the community.
SOCIAL 2 2 1 1 Diabetes Mellitus represents an urgent community
CONCERN concern because, although less than 25% of the population
is affected, the chronic nature of the disease and its
potential for severe complications (such as heart disease,

The long-term strain on healthcare resources and the
impact on individuals’ quality of life demand prompt and
