Diabetes Mellitus
Health promotion programs are the procedures and initiatives in the health department that Help the country in achieving a better state of health. The health promotion program helps to fight against various diseases. Diabetes mellitus is the selected health promotion initiative that will focus on improving health. The program initiative will help mobilize various resources and support the authorities in reaching the roots of the actual problem. The mobilization of actual resources will help know the actual problem, plan the objectives and implement the plan to achieve the desired results (Kaur, 2018).
The final step is the tracking of results to take further action. The health program initiatives are of various types. They help the people access the problems and consult the healthcare practitioners as early as possible to achieve better results. MAP-IT framework will help mobilize the resources and achieve better outcomes (Mahmud, 2018).
MAP-IT Framework
The first step to Help the diabetes initiative program is to mobilize the community resources. The community members and stakeholders will be asked to help in the case. The community members include the nurses and doctors. The nurses will have the most prominent role to help in the diabetes program, and they will give the advice and screen the patients. The screening of patients will help detect diabetes at the early stage and help self-care in the patients.
The next step is to know the problem that will the screening process and other diagnostic activities. The screening and other activities require the funds. The stakeholders will be contacted in the following regard, and the funds will be raised. The long-term objective of the diabetes mellitus initiative is to make the community free of diseases (Sanjari, 2019). The third step is to set the goals and implement the objectives. The nurses help the professional advice to the members of the community and further help the patients to overcome the diseases. In the last step, the patients are asked to take care of their homes, and it is an essential step for the patients to follow the guidelines. Dietary management should be good enough, and joint efforts should be made to make the community free of diabetes.

Diabetes in Elderly Men
Resources of a health promotion program can be mobilized through sending proposals for funding, creating community awareness about the problem of diabetes among elderly men, community meetings, and recruitment of volunteers. The mission and vision of the program are developed collaboratively by the partners involved in the project. The mission defines what the initiative wants to accomplish, while the vision outlines where the community wants to be. The partners of the health promotion program would be community leaders, community health nurses, public health officials, and dietitians.
Diabetes is a major problem among men, which can be addressed by educating the community about a healthy lifestyle. Lifestyle changes are among the key interventions used in the management of diabetes (Galaviz et al., 2018). The long-term goal is to improve the quality of life of men with diabetes and reduce the mortality rate by 30% within three years. High-level of community engagement is associated with improved outcomes (Haldane, V., Chuah et al., 2019). Data can be collected through public health officials since they have community health data.
The objective of the program would include evaluating the lifestyles of men in the community, improving the knowledge of the community about healthy lifestyles, and improving the number of people in the community eating healthy and living active lives. The progress of the initiative would be measured by the number of people who would participate in the activities of the program, the number of people to participate in diabetes screening, the contribution of stakeholders, and the people who would intend to act after receiving the knowledge. Health literacy skills can be used to measure the progress of health promotion initiatives (Nutbeam et al., 2018).
The work plan would include a calendar of events that would be conducted during the program implementation. The community health nurses would lead the training of community members about the benefits of healthy eating and active living. Public health officials would provide statistical data on the prevalence of the problem in the community, while community leaders will help mobilize the people for community gatherings in social halls. The meetings will take 2 hours with a break of 10 minutes. The focus of the program would be elderly men with diabetes. The participants would be required to state what they have learned at the end of each session to rate their understanding. The communication plan would include verbal communication as well as written strategies to guide the health educators and other stakeholders.
Regular Assessments of the progress would be conducted through an Assessment sheet that will be filled by the participants to evaluate the knowledge, willingness to alter their lifestyles and the lifestyle changes that have already been made. To ensure the quality of self-reported data, the participants would be assured of their anonymity, and their information would not be shared with others. The questions will be simple and easily understandable.
