PREFACE:
“Diabetic point” grew out of a need to provide quality self-help
products to members of our family and friends who needed products to
help with diabetes, arthritis, poor vision
and a host of other common conditions.
We checked with local businesses in our
community and none of them carried the
type of products that we needed. What we
were looking for were simple products that
could make everyday tasks easier to
accomplish.
So “Diabetic point” was born. After
extensive research and product testing,
we are proud to offer these quality
products that foster independent living.
You see, we know that everyone wants to
remain independent as long as they can and we understand how
frustrating the most common household tasks can be without a little
help. That's why we are committed to providing the best products
available for independent living. We are also committed to excellent
customer service and are always available to answer any questions
that you might have about our products.
It is our sincere hope that these self-help products will be able to help
you maintain your independent lifestyle as long as you choose to do
so. We all need a little help now and then. We hope that we can
provide that for you.

INTRODUCTION:
Diabetes is a huge issue for many people that require close monitoring by a physician.
Routine foot care is a critical component of caring for a diabetic person. Their feet should
be inspected daily and toe nail cutting may be best left to a professional to avoid any
injury. Any areas of injury, pain, or redness should be immediately reported to their
physician. Proper skin care is critical to keep the skin from splitting, cracking, etc...
Prevention is key!
Keep healthy skin healthy by maintaining it! Diabetic point will be the leading point in
Peshawar, OR with a rapidly developing consumer brand and growing customer base.
The diabetic point includes shoes for diabetic patients, and diabetic medicines like
5
(AVANDAMET Oral, Avandaryl Oral, and Diabeta Oral) and also serves diabetic
instrument like gluco-meter and insulin.
“Diabetic point” will target the diabetic patient and take out diabetic patient as a customer
with discretionary income by selling high quality, innovative products at a reasonable
price, convenient locations, and providing customer service.
TYPE 1 DIABETIES:
In Type 1 Diabetes, the person's own body has destroyed the insulin-producing beta cells
in the pancreas. When your own body destroys good stuff in your body it has what is
called an autoimmune disease. Diabetes Type 1 is known as an autoimmune disease.
Quite simply - a person with Diabetes Type 1 does not produce insulin. In the majority of
cases this type of diabetes appears before the patient is 40 years old. That is why this type
of diabetes is also known as Juvenile Diabetes or Childhood Diabetes.
TYPE 2 DAIBETIES:
Person with Diabetes Type 2 has one of two problems, and sometimes both:
1. Not enough insulin is being produced.
2. The insulin is not working properly - this is known as insulin resistance.
6
The vast majority of patients who develop Type 2 did so because they were overweight
and unfit, and had been overweight and unfit for some time. This type of diabetes tends to
appear later on in life. However, there have been more and more cases of people in their
20s developing Type 2, but it is still relatively uncommon. Approximately 85% of all
diabetes patients have Type 2.

2.1 Evaluation Of Idea:
1. Who is it targeted at?
We have targeted diabetic patient because there are about 83% diabetic patient of the
total population in Peshawar who are suffered from this disease. We targeted Diabetic
patient to promote our products well and increase our sale. The most important variables
7
are to be considered in understanding the favorite customer their demographics, how
they think, how they behave and the words and phrases they use when discussing our
product/services. And there is no center point which can facilitate diabetic patients under
one roof in Peshawar.
2. What is unique about your product/service?
Diabetic point will be the leading point in Peshawar, OR with a rapidly developing
consumer brand and growing customer base. The diabetic point includes shoes for
diabetic patients, and diabetic medicines like (AVANDAMET Oral, Avandaryl Oral, and
Diabeta Oral) etc..and also serves diabetic instrument like gluco-meter and insulin etc..
3. Competitive edge / Can it grow?
“Diabetic point” will target the diabetic patient and take out diabetic patient as a customer
with discretionary income by selling high quality, innovative products at a reasonable
price, convenient locations, and providing customer service. Diabetic point have the
potential to succeed on a large scale time to time by adding more entrepreneurial features
with the market need to increase our values to the target market.

A common word used when assessing an idea is 'feasibility' which refers to the ease at
which something can be done. We have targeted a diabetic patients in Peshawar which
are Approximately 17% of all diabetes patients have Type 1 & 83% have type 2.
In non-price competition, we plan to maintain stable prices and attempt to improve our
market positions by emphasizing other aspects of our marketing program. However,
competitors’ prices will be taken into consideration, and price changes will occur over
time. Nevertheless, the emphasis will be on the benefits rather than the price.
We plan to shift our demand curves to the right by means of product differentiation and
promotional activities and also would like to take advantage of the situation when one of
our competitors decides to undersell. The approach that we are going to follow would be
to build strong brand equity for Diabetic Point. This would not be a problem as Diabetic
Point is a distinctive and unique product and we would develop an appealing promotional
program for it.
3.0 CONCEPT DEVELOPMENT & TESTING
Concept testing is the attempt to predict the success of a new product idea before putting
it out on the market. So we selected A centralized test group that has the primary
advantage of size. By gathering all test resources into one organization, there are
economies of scale that permit focus and specialization on such areas as processes and
tools.In diabetic point , resources can be allocated based on demand, so peaks and
valleys can be smoothed out. Diabetic point offers an extensive offering of products. The
10
basic market need is to offer the product for Type 1 & Type 2 Diabetic patients. Diabetic
point's offer clothes, shoes, instruments, wristband for the diabetic patient.
\
FOCUS GROUP:
As we know, focus group involves encouraging an invited group of participants to
share their thoughts, feelings, attitudes and ideas on certain subject. Our focus
groups within our region can also be very useful in getting the idea or simply a
snapshot of their need. Keeping the view of the idea- Diabetic Point we discussed
and mentioned the clear bases on fact and figures to the specialized Doctors and
diabetic patients to convert our screen idea into a complete concept of a business.
Following topics were under discussion with our focus group.
Price ff the Products Brand Name
11
Slogan Product Attributes etc…
12
After revising the concept we got many positive feedback and suggestions which we took
it seriously and planned accordingly.
Our market segment consists of a large identifiable group
within a market with similar wants, purchasing power,
geographical location, buying attitude, or buying habits.
13
We can create more fine-tuned products and price it appropriately for the target
audience.Diabetic point will provide its customers with a wide selection of high-quality
