INTRODUCTION
Diabetes is one of the most common diseases in the world today. It is one of the
types of diseases that does not affect age or gender and is classified into four types,
but to avoid it or to avoid the disease, following a healthy lifestyle, patients with this

various preventive measures are implemented in the health care system. Primary
prevention is especially important, and the role of nurses in this process is of particular
importance.
MAIN PART
According to scientific views, diabetes is the result of insufficient or low
biological activity of the insulin hormone in the div, and its appearance is due to
failure to follow a healthy lifestyle, weight gain, eating unhealthy foods, and slow
physiological movements. Payo is a type of endocrine disease that divides and
develops. Controlling diabetes is a process that depends on the patient and his doctor.
This process can be observed in two stages, the first is related to heredity, and the
second is related to various environmental disorders. In 10-20% of the population,
genetic factors can be the cause, but in today's modernized life, 90% are unhealthy
lifestyles, overweight, hypodynamia, disorder in consumption. We can recommend
