worldwide and the numbers simply keep on growing with each passing day. For
many people, diabetes is a reality that they have live with every single day.
However, it is possible to lead a healthy and wholesome life even with diabetes.
Diabetes kills one person every 10 seconds and infects two persons in the
same short time. This is the scary reality behind this silent killer, which is taking

By 2025, the figure is expected to double, affecting mostly Asia, the Pacific
region, Latin America and Africa, including the Philippines. The National Capital
Region has the most number which totals to 8 percent of the population while
rural areas have an average of 4 percent as of the last survey. The burden of

and just wait for them to die in their homes because of expensive medication and
treatment.
Theoretical Framework
gives the reason for search for new data and for analyzing, interpreting and
synthesizing these data. The framework also cites the theory / theories on which
the study is premised in order to establish the relationship among the variables in
the study.
Some disciplines require the presentation of a paradigm in order to explain
how the theory is going to rationalize in the study. In this discussion, pertinent

To specify scope, the student/researcher spells out the coverage of the study in
time frame. The who, what, when, where and how of the study will be clarified.
The student delimits the aspects of the subject being investigated considering
statistical analysis, representative of sampling and time. Delimitation sets the limit of
what the research will include and what will not include.

The study will try to identify the level of awareness of the respondents about the
clinical manifestation of type 2 diabetes. It will include type 2 diabetes mellitus patients
