... So basically you want people to give you all the info for your assignment?

Without going so far, here are some websites with cancer prevalence, risk factors, etc

Health promotion is the process of enabling people to increase control over, and to improve, their health. To reach a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being, an individual or group must be able to identify and to realize aspirations, to satisfy needs, and to change or cope with the environment. Health is, therefore, seen as a resource for everyday life, not the objective of living. Health is a positive concept emphasizing social and personal resources, as well as physical capacities. Therefore, health promotion is not just the responsibility of the health sector, but goes beyond healthy life-styles to well-being.
There is your answer in the first sentence. How do you think Health Promotion assists in the ability of a person to improve their health (in your example diabetes).
