Significance of the Study topic
Type 2 Diabetes (T2DM) is currently a major disorder whose prevalence is on the increase. It is
estimated that approximately 366 million people aged 20-79 hears have T2DM which translates
to 8.3%. It is predicted that by 2030 the figure will increase to 552 million (Ogurtsova et al.,
2017). If not treated on time T2DM leads to chronic complications thus affecting the quality of
life and the patient’s health. Over 50% of diabetic patients succumb to cardiovascular diseases
and is a leading cause of kidney disease. The disorder is also a leading cause for blindness
caused by the damage of the retinal. Additionally, individuals diagnosed with type 2 diabetes are
at a high risk of limb amputation which is 25 times greater than healthy disorder (Rizkalla,
2014).
With the increasing burden of T2DM, multiple interventions have been proposed to help curb the
increasing trend. Studies have also found out that T2DM is a disease that is affected by lifestyle
