Diabetes is a significant problem for Jordanians, and it is necessary for there to be enough doctors there to help diagnose people so that they can get on top of the condition before it gets worse. Improving the health and well being of them is the first step as well as educating them about the condition to help them help themselves and even to prevent the disease. Even people who aren’t over weight can still have high cholesterol because of poor eating habits.

• Having people who are educated about the disease is important because it will help them know what to do to help it.
