The document proposes an app called "Control Your Diabetes for Life" to help educate people on managing diabetes and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. The app would provide tips on mood, food choices, exercise, and blood sugar levels. It would use games and animations to encourage positive behavior and track users' progress towards tasks like exercise goals. The goal is to help people better control their diabetes and reduce health complications and hospital visits.

4. OVERALL LAYOUT OF THE APP
 When you are accessing the app it has features such as typing in your mood
at that moment. Depending how you feel at that moment it will give you tips to
make you feel better. Other features my app has is if you are hungry or
craving something it will give you healthier alternatives. Basically you type in
how you feel, how high or low your diabetes is and it will help you have it
controlled.
 The app will have a menu that will give the user different options and they
can go through all the options available, such as mood, food alternatives,
exercise, healthy tips based on how high or low your sugar level is.
 Every time you are not in good mood, or your having a really great day little
animations will pop up on the screen to boost your confidence such as
confetti or balloons to make you happier.
 The colors of the app are green and yellow. Green because it symbolizes
life, nature, fertility and well being, and yellow because it symbolizes wisdom,
joy, happiness and intellectual energy.

5. DEVELOPMENT ENVIRONMENT
 The goal of this app is to help solve problems that people may be
feeling when having diabetes. I know that both my parents can
benefit from this app because they both have diabetes. My mother
usually doesn’t have it controlled and constantly has different mood
swings. The app will make people’s lives more positive for them, and
take their mind of, of this disease.
 To use this app all you have to do is follow the series of options
provided. Right now Diabetes is a rising epidemic if we find ways
where people can control their diabetes it helps control this issue.
 On the app there is also a series of tasks that will have you check of
what you did, and once you completed the tasks given such as
exercising and eating healthier alternatives it will then give you your
own personalized list of things to do daily.

6. EXECUTION ENVIRONMENT
 I will purpose my app to the health care system meaning
hospitals, if many people with diabetes access this app it can
reduce the times an average person with diabetes goes to the
hospital. Many times doctors aren’t really efficient in helping their
patients this app helps fulfill this need by providing people with a
wealth of options to help control their diabetes for life.
 This app pertains to anyone in any country as long as you have a
blackberry, droid or apple you can access it, because not only is
diabetes a cause in America but in other parts of the world such
as Canada.
