Background of the Study
Diabetes has become one of the leading non-communicable diseases (NCDs) in Nigeria, with an increasing burden on healthcare systems. In Gombe State, the prevalence of diabetes has risen due to factors such as poor diet, sedentary lifestyles, and limited public health education. To combat this growing public health concern, government policies aimed at diabetes prevention and management are crucial. These policies often include public health campaigns, subsidies for medications, and the establishment of diabetes care programs. However, the effectiveness of these policies in Gombe State has not been comprehensively evaluated. This study aims to evaluate the existing government policies on diabetes prevention and management in Gombe State, assessing their impact on diabetes awareness, prevention, and patient outcomes.
Statement of the Problem
Despite the efforts of the government to implement diabetes prevention and management programs in Gombe State, there is limited information regarding the effectiveness of these policies. Gaps in policy implementation, inadequate public awareness, and poor access to healthcare services may undermine the intended outcomes of diabetes management efforts. This study seeks to assess the effectiveness of current government policies in addressing diabetes in Gombe State, with a focus on identifying strengths, weaknesses, and areas for improvement.
Objectives of the Study
- To evaluate the effectiveness of government policies on diabetes prevention and management in Gombe State.
- To assess the public awareness of diabetes prevention and management policies in Gombe State.

Research Hypotheses
- Government policies on diabetes prevention and management have a positive impact on diabetes awareness and patient outcomes in Gombe State.
- Low public awareness of diabetes prevention and management policies hinders the effectiveness of these policies in Gombe State.
- Barriers such as insufficient healthcare infrastructure and lack of resources limit the effectiveness of diabetes care policies in Gombe State.
Scope and Limitations of the Study
The study will focus on government policies and their impact on diabetes prevention and management in Gombe State. It will involve evaluating both urban and rural areas. Limitations may include difficulty in obtaining data from all relevant stakeholders and potential biases in self-reported data on public awareness and policy effectiveness.
